Acorn TV's latest original 'London Kills' is just a week away from release and this is the perfect time to evaluate just why this show might be a new beacon of hope for fans of murder mysteries. Of course, superficially the plot isn't very different from regular detective shows such as the highly popular 'Castle' and the extremely riveting 'True Detective' or 'Criminal Minds', but what sets 'London Kills' apart is the impeccable cast and the sheer crisp and articulate execution of a murder mystery drama. And in all of that, British actor Hugo Speer, shines as the exceptionally private and undeniably complicated lead detective David Bradford.
