It's great to have Grace back on our screens even if the screens are in Finland. Yet another ITV show being screened abroad before the UK (along with the likes of Midsomer Murders, Mcdonald and Dodds, The Bay, D. I. Ray and new true crime drama Until I Kill You starring Shaun Evans).
With that moan out of the way, it has to be said that the usual gloss of the show does see to be missing here with it seemingly being filmed earlier in the year so the background of Brighton seems a bit drab.
OK, that's two moans (don't get me started on it being very different from the book!) but a quality actor in Robert Glenister brings the show a lot of gravitas (and shows up the frailties of John Simm who just seems to talk through his lines).
I assume they paid Robert a lot of money as he is in the show rather a lot for a guest actor and, having seen him in Sherwood and The Night Caller recently, I feel he could have offered much more.
A good watch as it seem to be cutting back on their two hour dramas this year.
