This is a review not of the entire season, but only the first four episodes.

Jane Seymour is Harry Wild, who retires from teaching literature at a university in (or near) Dublin. She's not sure what she's going to do, but it won't be gardening. While visiting her son who's in the Guard ("the police" to most of the rest of the world), she looks over one of his case files - and her knowledge of literature leads her to more clues. This sets her on her future path.

They seemed to be trying to distinguish the show by having her be the drinkingest swearingest shaggingest most obnoxious retired university professor. And I grant you, that's mildly out of the way of other detective shows about retired older women. Mildly. But then they provide her with a spunky young sidekick (Fergus Reid, played by Rohan Nedd) on the dubious side of the law. And that's so clichéd as to be a bit stunning. And after four episodes of the writers desperately working to insert multiple literary references into every episode so Harry can solve the crimes, and her disregard for other people's health ... I was done. Seymour and Nedd aren't too bad together, and they live in a lovely city (except for the corpses), but that's not enough to defeat the annoying writing.
