Ludwig (season 1)
{5/5} “Wallpaper goes on walls. The clue’s in the name.”
Ludwig season 1, aired in 2024
John likes to solve and create puzzles, and he rarely leaves his house. His sister-in-law Lucy calls and tells him to come and that she’s called a taxi for him. She reveals that his twin brother James, a police officer, is missing but has left a mysterious letter. They shouldn’t believe or trust anyone from his department. Lucy wants John to pretend to be James and grab his files from work.
Its tone is a bit like Castle — solving murder with humour.
I like how John solves a murder by looking at is as a logic puzzle.
The story comes to a semi-conclusion, but a season 2 would be very nice.
It’s a delightful show.
Stars David Mitchell and Anna Maxwell Martin.
