Detective Inspector Max Arnold lives on a battered houseboat at the end of Cheyne Walk after separating from his art dealer wife Astrid. The son of a local bookshop owner, Max is a far cry from the affluent elite whose crimes he'll help solve along with D.C. Priya Shamsie.





People love this detective show for Adrian Scarborough's brilliant performance as DI Max Arnold, a bookish cop living on a houseboat who solves crimes among Chelsea's elite. The acting is universally praised as the show's main draw, carrying a serviceable story that some find a bit predictable. A few viewers complain the pacing can drag, but most find it a solid, comforting watch with a great lead.
