The Bletchley Circle - Debrief

Wow.

After the hideous disappointments of The Shadow Line and The Line of Duty, this period piece of detective work from four post-World War II women was a revelation and example of what can be achieved if one applies intelligence, logic and common sense to a show.

I want another season - but I know that that will only ruin what this show has achieved:  satisfying, intelligent detective drama that is truthful to its characters, period and place.  A second season will only take it into Miss Marple territory.

I'm going to give my Gramma an extra hug after this.
