Late last year, BritBox announced that it would be adapting Elizabeth George’s beloved Inspector Lynley series, nearly two decades after BBC One first adapted them into the still-popular Inspector Lynley Mysteries. The news took British mystery connoisseurs by surprise, as the original 24-episode series still airs reruns on PBS quite frequently. But, perhaps, the most worrisome aspect of the announcement was that it would be a “modern” take on George’s work — something that can go either way when it comes to the success of an adaptation.
