An engrossing series, in spite of being flawed. Olivia Colman is excellent in the part. Tennant, however, is beady eyed with hair conveniently groomed over his forehead and an unshaven face which makes him appear seedy, weak, and rather ineffective in his job. Some of the problem is the plot: at critical points in the story, he gets a cardiac attack. His determination to solve the case results in leaving the hospital which demonstrates foolishness rather than his commitment to his job. By the time of the denouement, we are tired of his befuddlement. The twist at the conclusion is a bit too implausible. It literally comes out of the blue. Hopefully season two is better...?
