SYNOPSIS BY NICK: |
|
NICK'S REVIEW: |
|
An enjoyable start to a new series. Trevor Eve, and indeed all the regulars, are comfortable with their characters and provide great performances. The Eddie/Erica relationship has shifted slightly to one of friendship rather than relationship. Teaming Eddie with his temporary "partner" Lettie works well. "Room With a View" doffs its cap to Hitchcock's "Rear Window", but surprises the viewer by turning the inspiration on its head to reveal that the supposed victim is in fact, the unfortunate voyeur. |
|
Eddie takes a call in his usual inimitable fashion |
