There are very few comedies I enjoy, and most of them are British. This is no Fawlty Towers but an enjoyable watch, so stick with it for a few episodes. I very much agree with the review by plasticanimalz.
Being a mystery buff, I'll not keep this in my collection, but will definitely watch Series 2.

It's a FILM folks, not a documentary. It doesn't need to be factual. Some reviewers here seem to believe it does, pointing to all the "errors" such as the mechanics of the train coupling. Seriously? I think had a big name starred, it would have attracted far better score. Certainly this film is on a par with Liam Neeson's "The Commuter (2018)". I enjoyed it and even watched it again with a friend. A film for the whole family - definitely worth a watch if you appreciate a good story without all the Hollywood frills.
I struggled with finding a reason that this film is so flat - and now believe it is Stephen Poliakoff. Replace his script and direction, then this film should triumph, because I couldn't fault the cast, the scenery, the musical score or the concept. Read the reviews by zombequin and Burgess-Hulme, and you have the detailed analyses with which I concur. I can only imagine the film in the hands of Hitchcock or Spielberg; what a difference that would have made. It's worth a watch, if only to see your favourite actors, but definitely no encore!
