Ludwig

Yes, MayBee70, David Mitchell is very engaging & has the most beautiful gentle eyes too. 😊

I binge watched the whole series and really enjoyed it.. It gets progressively better and better.. very quirky and unusual.. I hope there is a second series

I've just finished and there has to be another series as they left us with a couple of cliffhangers. Brilliant!

Me too!

Brilliant! And that first continuous shot going up and down the building through lighted windows, seeing people's movements, was stunning. I love the wit and it made me laugh out loud a lot. I will certainly watch the rest. The funniest thing for a long time, for me.

I recorded it and watched it last night. Really liked it.
Where can I binge watch… BBC IPlayer ???

Only really knew David Mitchell as a comic so was surprised to see he was really good. Enjoyed the first episode and will watch the rest. Also been enjoying Chelsea Detective, Nightsleeper and Apples never Fall. Amazing to see a few good things on the TV at once.

I enjoyed it but found the background music very irritating.

Yes! I agree. It’s Beethoven of course but hashed up bits. The intro which is used a lot later on is a few bars from the last movement of a piano sonata that I play. Opus 31 No 2 The Tempest. It just repeats and doesn’t go anywhere.
But the first episode I found satisfying otherwise. Mitchell does social agony like no one else. I thought it might be too much but it wasn’t.

Have you not watched Upstart Crow? He's brilliant in that.

Yes iPlayer has all 6 episodes.

I really like Ludwig. It’s really quirky and at times very funny.

Hated the execrable Nightsleeper but husband wanted to see it through to the end despite the appalling acting.

I too found the music extremely annoying. I fell asleep after he’d ‘solved’ the crime. Doubt we’ll watch any more.

Thank you Pittcity. 💐

Enjoying this, he's such a good actor. And loved Upstart Crow, one of my favourite series. Will never forget the episode about Hamnet's death. So funny at the start, but I was weeping in the last few minutes. Such clever writing.

I've seen the first two episodes and will watch them again with husband on Tuesday (our crime night!), now that we have finished Sherwood season 2. I tried the first two episodesa of Grace but it's too violent nad bloodthirsty for me.

OH and I enjoyed the first episode - we'll stick with it and see what happens! I had thought, from the trailers,that the whole thing might be rather puerile, but fortunately it wasn't! Obviously he'll crack the mystery of his missing brother, and no doubt solve a few more murders en route...........!! Hope we can last the course.

Lighthearted, tongue in cheek, allowed for a certain quota of audience intelligence - what's not to like?
A nice break from the real world!

Ludwig has been described as the new Jonathan Creek - is it ?
I'll give it a go !

There is another really well written new series on ITVX called Our House.. extremely clever ending

Really enjoyed it 😊

Loving it - more intelligent comedy at last! And no swearing as a bonus!
How can you not like the music, it’s Beethoven?!! Especially the 7th symphony - one of my favourites.

Loved the first episode

Thoroughly enjoyed my binge watch

Thanks for the recommendation. I binge watched McDonald and Dodds on a recommendation from GN. Just a shame there aren’t any more.

Watched the first episode live and really liked it.It is quirky and a bit different from the usual detective fodder.

We agree with Pascal30. Watched it all and it does get better and very satisfying by the end. Yes unlikely, but that's entertainment. Much better and more uplifting than the dark and violent series that appear so regularly nowadays
