What Is Acorn TV’s Art Detectives About?
Acorn TV has announced a new series called Art Detectives. What is this series about? According to AMC Networks, this new crime series is based around the Heritage Crime Unit. This is led by “art-loving” DI Mick Palmer, and “straight-talking” DC Shazia Malik.
In the first season of this new series, the “artfully astute detectives encounter a fake Vermeer, Viking gold, a rare Chinese vase, and items rescued from the Titanic. It’s a rich and colorful world driven by greed, obsession, lust and revenge.”
