I was a bit sceptical about a re-imagined Rebus, brought up to date, but I've watched the series, and it gets a mostly thumbs up from me. No sure about the casting of Cafferty or Siobhan but theyre growing on me. The ex-wife needs a haircut almost as urgently as Claudia Winkleman, but it's mostly pretty good. #Rebus #ScottishCrimeFiction #BinTheFringeWoman

@CloudyMrs lasted 15 or twenty minutes, it's a "no" from me, casting is all wrong and Richard Rankin will never be Rebus.

@Roadwarrior29 I wasn't sure in episode 1, but he'd grown on me by the end. He's not a 90s Rebus but he is a decent 2020s one. Still not struck non Siobhan. I don't think the actor is great. I liked hearing fairly convincing accents, and some o the patter was decent. Definite work in progress. Thank goodness they've got about 40 years worth of material to work with.

@CloudyMrs The casting killed it for me, none of the actors in the short time I watched, were "right" and as for a "weegie" Rebus, it's ridiculous 🤣🤣🤣
Ken Stott is and always will be, Rebus 👍

@Roadwarrior29 Ken Stott was the best for sure, but if we want to see a Rebus of any kind, this idea of planting him in the now is decent.

@Roadwarrior29 also, is that a weegie accent. Maybe a very local niggle as I can't really tell the difference between central belt accents. They're all just south.

@CloudyMrs I was born in Edinburgh but lived my whole life just outside Glasgow so, I'd say I can tell the difference.

@Roadwarrior29 that's what I mean though. You'd need to be really local to get that picky. Not sure it's a deal breaker if you consider the success of Shetland and the almost total absence of Shetland accents.
