In “Ludwig,” being a detective is tough—and leaving the house is tougher

Was there a better time to be hermit? Yes, the world will go to hell in any way, but I am not talking about it, or I conclude that these people are hiding specifically from chaos now. Retreat Regardless of the political bell.

No, what I am talking about is mainly the delivery of delivery. All we need can be dropped on the threshold of our doors, which eliminates almost any requirements for leaving the house – who answers the issue of how David Mitchell John Taylor, the investigator who is reluctant in the middle of “Ludwig”, has become very isolated from the world.

John lives a quiet life of the mind, spending his days designing puzzles under the name of Ludwig’s pen. It is recorded in chimneys of books, papers and painting paintings, and requests his days as it sees appropriate. It does not seem alone, but it is unprecedented. The awareness of the difference between the two conditions helps us to estimate what John Lucy Bates Taylor’s sister is (Anna Maxwell MartinIt requires it.

When Lucy John invites blue – which, through the lens of a person who is not a hermit, can be considered an unexpected interruption instead of irritation – his reaction to what comes after that is the indisputable fear. Lucy calls for a “great” interest to John. “You will have to leave the house and enter the taxi that booked you,” explains.

Leaving the house these days is equal to going to the gym or some stores outside the road-I do not want to do so, but I tend to feel better to overcome stalemate.

John, however, cannot be relied upon. In fact, he is sure that what awaits him at the end of his 140 -miles journey between his little cave and her participation in Cambridge’s house with her husband, James’s twin John’s twin, and he did not start this if Lucy did not ask a vehicle to appear at his door.

“Ludwig”, which was created and its book, Mark Brothrhood, is from six episodes Convenient puzzle Where the situations are once in each episode, the Decrease is a sequential mystery that connects the season. James, the respected investigator, is missing. He left an envelope for LUCY containing a note that she asks to pack everything and disappear with her teenage son.

But Lucy knew James and John about six years ago. She suspects something else that happens, so John ask James to impersonate James to enter the station, find his magazine and return it to it.

However, it reduces its appreciation The number of puzzles surrounding us. Parking is a mystery that John, who does not know how to drive, is amazingly failing. Talking to strangers is another mystery. Throwing in the expectations related to the titles and other procedures that are part of the James function is sufficient to turn John into a desperate, frightened blame to find a soft land to bury his head.

Then the worst – John was monitored by the new James partner, Dipo Ola and decreased in the murder case. If the competition with living is a challenge to John, imagine his reaction to watching his first body.

“I can’t do it, Lucy. I don’t know how anyone can. I don’t know how James did at all!” It explodes in a moment resulting from the crisis.

John “Ludwig” Taylor (David Mitchell), and Russell Carter (Debu First) in “Ludwig” (with the permission of the BBC/Big Tok Studios)When Lucy mistakes the meaning of John and believes he talks about James’s work, John corrects it. “I am not talking about his job, I am talking about all of that!” He says. “I am talking about just waking up in the morning and leaving the house. Go out here – this! All this! Passers, noise, buildings, offices, computers, and people! Nobody sees each other, everyone talks at one time! “

“Ludwig” is already success in the UK, the optimistic Whodunit land, and its capture in the second season cannot be a surprise. It is fun and funny, although all killings. Mitchell and Maxwell Martin have enormous chemistry, as well as Mitchell and no. Full clicks.

As for the American viewers, we have already fell into the exotic citizens’ investigators in the trio mold of “Only murders in the building“Carrie Prestton’s Offbeat Crime Solver on” ELSBETH “and Cathy Bates“They make fun of” Matlock “.

“Ludwig” aims at the additional coloring of the soundtrack inspired by the famous Smvonia Beethoven. Whether the songs are presented in the splendor of the orchestra or as a feverish electronics, each needle drops the natural comedy from the feverish John embarrassment or picks up its chronic grief.

This face is what exfoliates the width, regardless of these other supreme offers. Mitchell, who is famous for his work in “Peep Show”, is unusually entertaining and moving in his performance of true introvertedness, a type of character that has recently become more common. The Brotherhood disappears this photography by writing John as a man who makes the same unstable deal to reunite it with strangers as the rest of us.

John is not obligated to do James while investigating his disappearance, choosing it. The dismantling of the symbol is its coercion on driving, and if deciphering the mystery of the human interaction is part of that – a single thing that does not require him to practice – so be the case.

In the first episode, when the murder case is stars by distillation in a logical puzzle, it strikes his fans in submission with the collapse of terms. “Well, what we look here is a series of logical measurements, clearly,” says, “A series of phrases and proposals, one of which will be wrong, but we can get rid of a cross reference process and a deductive reason.”

He explains the confidence of what he concluded by drawing a network on a white board and shining while watching the suspects and colleagues, deciphering the recession. “Do you follow?” He asks, as if we should, but of course, we do not. However, this is not John. It makes him more confident and curious to see where you can take his experience.

But his advanced talent for a small hadith can significantly affect that, for example, he requires him to provide news to a strange person crying, which confirms that their worst fear has come.

“Ludwig” is an equal exploration of sympathy through the eyes of a person who suffered from the common childhood tragedies of bullying and abandoning parents and chose to retreat from life instead of getting out as his twin did. Many of us can sympathize with his view of the era of re -negotiating what it means to be with others.

Previous generations have not had the opportunity to taste some copies of Hermetic Bliss millions of us over the past five years. They had to appear in their functions and societal areas. But for millions of us, it made virtual innovation possible, and even the best, to pass the days that relate to things and knowledge and even other people without sharing the physical space with another spirit.

Once the restrictions imposed on public gatherings were reduced, the reopening of the world in the foreground brought how we became socially brutal. Suddenly, restaurant shepherds and drivers forgot their patience and etiquette. The temptations were significantly shorter. This brutality had already raised it in social media spaces before the epidemic called it, but knowing that it was already present and did not reduce the shock of the experience of its releases in the interactions face to face.

John Jones deals with this loud and inhuman insistence without previously exposure online or on his mobile phone, the same as Nokia Lucy’s talent 20 years ago.

Living in this reality makes John’s emotional journey deep like secrets is satisfactory. John’s struggling efforts to march to his chaotic world simulate the efforts of anyone who is accustomed to the required isolation or its preference in the first place.

This show provides a peek at what can await us on the other side of our discomfort in public places – an answer key, if you will, and expand our view of what is possible. This image may include people who deserve their company. We will never know if we are bold enough to get out of our safety area.
