just another outsider, trying to fit int and ext on to the same page
And with this, I consider this binge, solv-ed. I’m aware there are two more in this particular series (one with a bastard son taking the reigns, and another where they try to pawn it off to a “new” detective), plus that wretched Steve Martin reboot, but we’d rather just not talk about that. So I […]
MoreQuite enjoyed the dynamics of the duo. More credit to the performances than the writing, which elevated the lack of drama and conflict to a watchable fare.

MorePerhaps a controversial opinion, but I quite found Arkin as Clouseau refreshing. I felt he brought his own flavour to the role and it worked for me. Some good spins on the familiar gags too.
