Yannick is most definitely cut from the Christopher Reeve mold of good-looking and quite earnest actor. Seldom spectacular, he is still compelling to watch and he lingers in the memory. Especially, if you give him time to grow into the role.
The believable nature of the characters in this show...which has a largely unbelievable premise: Victorian Forensics...is definitely a large part of the appeal. And I quite enjoy the formality of the courting. The very fact that they have to hold back on their passion makes for some erotically evocative moments. The show makes a habit, so far, of springing the sexual tension on us at unexpected moments. We will be discussing a victims stomach contents and suddenly William will imagine he's kissing Julia. Or we will get used to imaginings and find that suddenly they've both given in to their passions for real. It is a very heated business this Victorian courtship. :grin:
