British Crime Comedy · BBC · 2024–present
Reclusive puzzle-setter John 'Ludwig' Taylor leads a quiet, contented life designing crosswords — until his identical twin James, a Cambridge DCI, goes missing. To find him, the socially awkward John must impersonate his confident detective brother, blundering into murder cases that somehow yield to his peculiar puzzle-solving brain. David Mitchell is perfectly cast: dry, anxious, and unexpectedly moving. One of the BBC's biggest recent hits, and easy to see why.
