What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople are mostly on board for this puzzle-mystery starring David Mitchell as twin brothers John and James Taylor, and they say he's the main draw. The show's humor and his performance are nearly universally praised, even if some find the visual style flat and the pacing a bit of a slog. Anna Maxwell Martin also gets strong marks, but the story around her character Lucy is less loved. While the core mystery and Mitchell's dual role keep it interesting, the consensus is it's a fun, well-acted watch that can sometimes feel slow and look a bit cheap.
