Matt Roush says...

From jolly England comes an even more brilliant twist on the mystery-comedy genre, perfect for fans of Monk, starring Peep Show alum David Mitchell as socially awkward puzzle master John “Ludwig” Taylor, whose distant twin brother James enjoys success as DCI of a Cambridge police department. When James goes missing, his concerned wife (Anna Maxwell Martin) enlists a reluctant John to fill his shoes in a risky impersonation. Turns out that “Ludwig” has a knack for solving murders, viewing each case as a cryptic puzzle. But how long can he keep the charade going, while investigating what happened to his sibling? The supporting cast includes The Pitt‘s Gerran Howell (med student Whitaker) as an eager constable on Taylor’s team. Launches with two episodes.
