Grace - Ep. 2
Taken from the long running series of books by Peter James, episode 1, which covered the first book, Dead simple, was ok. Last nights show was from the 2nd book Looking Good Dead, & worked less well. What is great about the books, other than the plot, is the attention to detail. which doesn't really transfer over in what amounts to an hour & half of tv. There's enough scope for a 3 part series. Little time is spent over the interaction between the main characters, which has evolved throughout the series of books from 2005 & still running today. As much as I rate John Simm, but I would've preferred a stronger character in the role.
Brilliant books, average tv.
