What does everyone think of this new series? I thought it was slow and boring and Roy Marsden or Martin Shaw he certainly isn't!!!!!

Well, Roy Marsden is Dalgleish and always will be. I thought it wasn't bad, though and will watch the next. The sidekick cop was inappropriate though.

Missed part 1. Not sure, bit predictable. Didn't warm to the actors
I loved it, never watched the Shaw one so this was totally new to me.
enjoyed it, refreshing to see a crime drama without computers, mobile phones, dna and cctv . . .
Liked Dalgleish. Liked his car. Liked the settings. Didn't like his sergeant, pompous surgeon - 'I know your Commissioner etc', should have been a two hour Endeavour style programme.
I gave it about half an hour, but not for me I’m afraid.
I watched it because I like the books. I will give it one more try but if he hadn't been called Dalgleish I wouldn't have known there was a link.
First episode was stomach churning!
Roy Marsden is Adam Dalgleish, much as I like Martin Shaw he was wrong in this role, I forgot to watch the new version.
Watched it, didn't like him at all.

After I'd posted the question I realised I'd spelled DALGLIESH wrong and knew the "AB Police" would pick me up on it but they didn't and everyone who answered spelled it wrong too so feel better now!!!
Thanks for B.A.- actually, we all copied your spelling! (Drat, there goes B.A. :( . )
I also prefer Roy Marsden. There was no character to Bernie Carvel and I didn't like the constant smirk on his face. The less said about his sergeant, the better. Agree with aelpmvw about mobile phones etc.

Oh dear Jourdain will have to pass the best answer on to Cashier now lol!!!!!
For me it was spoilt by that p--t of a so called detective sergeant.
