Top review. Pleased to find such a well-done drama. I came across the 'Whicher' series of dramas on amazon prime. I'm so glad I did because 1 I've never heard of the actors and 2 I am put off by the dark grim environment of the times portrayed. Luckily, the acting and writing and story were good enough to overcome my biases. Watching these Whicher stories I have not read the novel from which the film is adapted, I am impressed that this is straight story-telling.

Every few minutes, I appreciate that it is clear the story is going somewhere. That holds my interest - where? There are not the distracting subplots and twists so often found when a mystery unravels. Whicher has one aim - to solve a crime - and I'm taken along for the ride.

That's an interesting ride, too! Very enjoyable viewing. Details Edit. Release date April 25, United Kingdom. United Kingdom. Storyline Edit. Add content advisory. User reviews 5 Review. Top review. A British gem. This is one of the best shows I've seen recently. The writing is excellent and acting superb. The production is rich and detailed. If you are used to American shows, as I am, this is very different. Nothing flashy or fast paced. But it's so engrossing that I couldn't wait to watch the next, and then the next, and then it was done.

I was so sorry to see there were only four episodes. The tragic character of Mr Whicher, beautifully portrayed by Paddy Considine, is sort of a common man Sherlock Holmes, although I almost hate to make that comparison. Mr Whicher is not driven by ego or fame or glory or money, but always by the search for Truth. I had never heard of the story or character, but I'm so glad I stumbled on this gem.
