Have only watched one episode so far but...what a wasted opportunity.

I thought the book was absolutely brilliant Such a shame that Vikram Chandra only produces one novel every 20 years or so.

The main character, the Sikh detective, is a pretty cool guy who manages to stay on top of things incredibly well. In this version he might as well be Harry Bosch or any of the others. Netflix have turned him into just another hard-boiled cop with personal problems who scowls and sulks all the time.

There's no subtlety, with the bent cops all being one dimensional stereotypes and the characters mostly grouching and snarling.

Netflix have produced something totally formulaic and managed to make a cow's ear out of a silk purse.
