In 2017, writer Ben Richards - who adapted the series from Rowling's original source material - revealed the show will be a breath of fresh air for fans of detective drama.
'It does feel very different tonally and visually from other crime dramas. There’s something interestingly retro about it while also remaining contemporary – it does have a bit of a Morse-like quality.
'Even the humour is similar – I was watching an old Morse the other day, and the great thing about that series was that it was funny but the humour wasn’t arch or crazy – it just came out of everyday scenarios.'
He added: 'There is a gentleness to it which I think has been missing for a long time in crime dramas where we’re often a bit too obsessed with having crazy twist after crazy twist.'
