The Chelsea Detective

One of those gentle English detective shows that holds it all together pretty constantly. And scenes from all around Chelsea, London .. suitably scenic advertising from time to time. Good stories. Nice characters. Nothing bad.

Series 1 ★★★

Nothing extra to say.

Series 2 ★★★

Still nothing extra to say.

Series 3 ***

After the first episode I knew it wasn’t going to be a binge watch. It wasn’t. But my star rating didn’t change.

🔗 The Chelsea Detective on Reelgood

Movies - like music, books, art et al is not a competition. I hate 'best' in those terms. So star ratings have always been hard for me. They have to be seen in the context of the reviewer. A ★★★★★ movie in this world is not necessarily better than a ★ movie - it's just that is how I feel.

➕

The inspiration for my ★ rating comes from @derekpeden - thank you sir, modified slightly to accommodate my personal watching habits. If this footer is on one of my book, film or TV reviews - the stars fit the guide above. Going forward - I will append my reviews with this footer. Over time I will revisit prior reviews and update.

★★★★★ So Good - A personal favourite

★★★★☆ Excellent - well worth a watch

★★★☆☆ Enjoyed - recommend

★★☆☆☆ Not Bad - BUT - only a 'kinda' recommendation - with (many?) caveats

★☆☆☆☆ Not for me
