Vexed wants to be a British version of Moonlighting.
The first series was a three parter from Howard Overman, with Jack played by Toby Stephens, an arrogant, uncaring and misogynistic cop. His new partner played by Lucy Punch, exasperated with his methods and attitude. She also had a madcap relationship with her fiancé played by Rory Kinnear.
The first series was not a great critical or viewing success.
A re-tooled second series appeared two years later. Punch was replaced by Miranda Raison and Jack was toned down. He was made a little bit more sensitive and a better detective.
Stephens tried his best to be a charismatic series lead.
Like Moonlighting it is off beat enough with a hint of 'will they or won't there' and crime solving thrown in.
Unfortunately the second series was also not a hit with the audience. It left the creator slightly vexed!
