Medullah posted:It's a possibility that the lady detective is a replacement for the Elaine Belloc character in the books (sign of true old age, can't remember the cops name and I watched an episode last night, yet remember Elaine from a book I read 10 years ago). That isn't old age; it's just terrible writing. Every character in the show has no traits aside from their single assigned stereotype, e.g. no-nonsense cop-lady, deadbeat ex, precocious child, angry guy, acerbic friend(?) of the protagonist etc. etc. Why would you remember anyone's name when the only memorable standout so far is Tom Ellis' boyish grin?

That kind of change would require a deviation from the paint by numbers approach to crime drama the show employs. Spunky, ambitious lady-cop plus troubled, affable genius equals drama and sexual tension is the basic formula for this lovely sub-genre.

True, but this show plays pretty fast and loose with its bible myths.
