A fun series of mysteries with excellent characters

An Excellent story. My biggest complaint is the detective does the overly dramatic trope of ending his "and the murderer is" speech looking at the person who isn't the murderer before finally pointing to the person at the other end of the line. It felt a little over used (maybe because I grew up on old black and white murder movies where they did that a lot). They do a good job of showing us the clues that the hero notices and they actually point out at least a 3rd of them if not 2/3rds so that we notice them too. but we do see them. I kind of regret they reveal the big secret at the end even though we viewers could probably all have put 2 and 2 together to figure it out with the clues we've seen along the way, and most likely some viewers would have been angry if it was not revealed to us at the end. I do hope they decide to make a second season because the characters were fun to watch and I would like to see them more. The costumes looked good, the sets are well populated and well decorated. The special effects were excellent and a most of the camera work is extremely well done.
