I'm not a fan of "breaking the fourth wall" & the way this started nearly turned me off the show but I came back to it a few weeks later & fell in love with it. They pared back the "narrative to camera" thank goodness & it became a delightful mystery/crime/sharp witted comedy blend that really works. Largely carried by the super-talented Nicola Walker who makes you love the central character despite her flaws and good supporting actors around her particularly the young daughter. Well worth watching.
