Sounds like we might have been here before, but thought I would post as an alert.

It may turn out to be quite good.

I'm in! Any whiff of a Victorian crime fest gets me excited. The Times says its pretty well done but prepare for clunky exposition in the first episode.

Gutted I cant see it as I dont have alibi! Wonder if it will end up on freeview in a couple of years.

Have you tried UKTV? I think Alibi is part of that group.

Have sometimes caught up on dramas on there.

Ooh that was a treat! Like Ripper Street lite :)

Wonderful actress, very Mary Poppins. Great teeth for Victorian England I must say. Look forward to more episodes, bet we haven't seen the last of the redoubtable Clara.

I hope they bring in further love interest because the David Tennant guy isn't going to sustain a series with his fake exhortations to get out of his business.

oh dear - I thought it was so silly. Okay if it had been an afternoon made to appeal to women type series, but no depth. But might just tune into the 2nd episode to see if it gets any better.

Yes it felt very daytime. Everyone clean and well nourished, threat scenes pretty laughable. I enjoyed it though!

Definitely silly ... why is everything blue?

Good to know that a full face of expertly applied Mac makeup was available to the spinster daughters of Victorian security guards

Bit late to the party but just binged watched this
Really enjoyable, good chemistry between the leads.
Hoping for a second series
