And not the strongest *** either, which as an old-school Atkinson fan feels like a shame. There's absolutely good stuff in here, good style as always, an intriguing setting with some good character work, but ultimately that meta story of someone trying to write something he doesn't understand starts to look a little too apropos. The plot is full of the sort of coincidences you'd expect of a Midsomer Murders episode set in a village of a few dozen people - at no point does this feel like a bustling metropolis - and then it just... stops, as if Atkinson just got bored with it.
