The nuance comes in with how those shortcomings are interpreted differently by those around him, IMO.

I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. I will watch a few episodes of the older series to see if I still think the same after watching them all these years later.

Geez, we are old fashioned. These days a discussion like we are having is apparently supposed to inevitably escalate into a flame war. I am glad I lived most of my life before the internet came along.

I have enjoyed the Lynley-Havers dialogues and insults in the books.
I doubt I will ever watch the film adaptations. Too much subtlety in those
