Debih, previous Creeks, while TIC, had more wry humour in them, not least from an actor called Stuart Milligan, who played Adam Klaus, Alan Davies's magician mentor and boss. Caroline Quentin was the best "side-kick", IMO, not keen on Sheridan Smith, a bit too shrill in it, TBH, but just my 2c worth ..... They're worth watching if they ever get repeated.
This latest episode was all very tired and rote, Kaz has summed it up very well. Critics weren't over keen on it either.
