Didn't know that's called lavender marriage...how interesting. Well, the trailer is a bit dull though.
ReplyDeleteIt has just six episodes, easy to digest, but I cannot stand Gatiss, wish it was someone else, he is so unlikeable.
DeleteThe premise sounds fun. I like that "self-appointed consultant." lol
ReplyDeleteShould be fun for the cosy mystery fans.
DeleteI just want to sit around and smell all of the old books LOL
ReplyDeleteIt will air on PBS in USA.
