I love a good art mystery, and I'm looking forward to Art Detectives that starts today on AcornTV. Two episodes are now available, with future episode streaming one a week.
In the Metropolitan Police's smallest department, the Heritage Crime Unit, an art-loving detective tackles cases connected to the world of art, antiques, collectibles and cultural heritage.
Stephen Moyer remains best known in America for his vampire Bill Compton in True Blood. Moyer returns today, June 9, with AcornTV’s murder mysteries series Art Detectives as art-loving Detective Inspector Mick Palmer, partnered with Detective Constable Shazia Malik (Nina Singh).
They’re the Heritage Crime Unit, solving murders linked to art and antiques – everything from forged paintings to Viking gold.
“I loved the idea of it,” the British born Moyer, 55, began in a Zoom interview with the Boston Herald. “There is a real Heritage Crime Unit – I think it’s called the Art Fraud Department. It’s the smallest department in the whole Metropolitan Police. Just three people. Alongside straight-talking DC Shazia Malik, played by Nina Singh, the pair solve murders connected to the world of art and antiques, from Old Master paintings, to Banksy street art, medieval manuscripts and collectible vinyl. in the series, the artfully astute detectives encounter a fake Vermeer, Viking gold, a rare Chinese vase and items rescued from the Titanic.
Palmer navigates these cases while managing a budding romance with museum curator Rosa, played by Sarah Alexander and the sudden reappearance of his charismatic father, Ron, (Larry Lamb), who just happens to be one of Britain’s most notorious forgers.
Art Detectives' first two episodes stream today on Acorn TV.
