“Is Britbox’s new ‘Lynley’ series worth the trouble?” links

Is the new Lynley series worth the trouble? I’ll admit – I was a huge fan of the original Inspector Lynley series starring Sharon Small & Nathaniel Parker, and I’m kind of mad that they’ve made this new series. #NotMyEarlofAsherton. [Pajiba]

    Well, the book Lynley was blond if I remember correctly so Leo Suter is physically suited for the role. The rest remains to be seen.

  2. Charlie says:

    I love Leo Suter since I saw him in Sanditon and Clique. I can’t wait!

      OMG, he was the hot builder/architect guy in season one! THAT’S where I recognized him. I totally thought him and charlotte would get together

  3. jlwilso says:

    I’ll definitely check out the new Lynley. Something about Nathanial Parker makes it hard for me to watch.

  4. Mel says:

    I’m going to watch. I loved the old series, so I’ll check it out.

    My girl Allison Janney is aging like a fine wine.

    Oh, also, The Roses is soooo good. I didn’t know Benedict Cumberbatch was a good actor becase he’s in boring movies but apparently he’s great! He just needed something fun!

      I nearly went to see it this weekend. I love Bendy, Olivia Coleman, and Kate HerLastNameEscapesMe. It looked fun, but I’ve been under the weather. Glad to hear it’s good.

  6. Megan says:

    The book Hamnet didn’t do much for me.

  7. Sue says:

    Congratulations, Chloe!
    You tell them, Anne!

    Sacrilege! Nathaniel Parker & Sharon Small were perfection! Gotta say, though, there was one episode where I swear, all Havers got to say was, ‘but sir!’. I hope in this new series her character has more to do, as she did in the books.

    • Indica says:

      I am currently slowly savoring the Nathaniel Parker & Sharon Small series. I only let myself watch one a day, and am enjoying it so far :). I may check out the new ones but…

    • Tis True Tis True says:

      They were both so hot. What made the show appealing.

      Glad that this show goes into the ridiculousness of an Earl being a police detective. The books were written by an American. As someone wrote about the original series, one can imagine an Earl as a detective, but there is no way an Oxford educated Viscount would become a beat cop or if they did, last long enough to become a detective. Curious how the new show will handle that question.

      • Kaiser says:

        Lynley was a detective in the books & the first show! He was Detective Inspector Lynley, and Havers was his detective sergeant.

  9. Mightymolly says:

    Congratulations to Chloe & Kate! I wish them much happiness. (Just a side benefit that incel heads are probably exploding).

  10. manda says:

    After seeing all these great reviews of the old series, I will have to check it out! I was given the opportunity to watch an advance screening of the new lynley, and I liked it for the most part, I figured I would watch it when the rest it came out

    Leo Suter was also in Victoria. I am watching the series again. So good. He heroically stopped a bullet.
