- The series stars David Mitchell as reclusive puzzle designer John 'Ludwig' Taylor, who assumes the identity of his missing twin brother, alongside Anna Maxwell Martin as Lucy Betts-Taylor.
- Season two picks up with Mitchell's character now employed as a crime scene consultant for the Cambridge Police Authority, though he remains forbidden from using police resources to search for his missing brother.
- Executive producer Kenton Allen noted the show "genuinely cuts through" critically and commercially, praising creator Mark Brotherhood's "brilliantly original" writing as central to the series' sustained success.
