Stream It Or Skip It: 'Inside Man' On Netflix, Where David Tennant Is ... (Decider)

Dolly Wells and Lydia West also star in the series, created and written by Steven Moffat.

But Tennant’s side of the story is just so insane that you’ll be too distracted by it to be entertained by Tucci’s side. Oh, and here’s another thing: After the first scene, the only way we get an idea that Janice and Beth have become friends is via a text message. Just the tease of the senator’s case and Grieff’s theory — something he came up with instantaneously — was effective enough for us to want to see more of that. We actually get a lot of time with Grieff, via both the initial mystery that he finds doesn’t meet his “moral worth” criteria and during the drawn out interview sequence with Beth — another character, by the way, that’s more of a character sketch than someone real. Of course, Janice doesn’t believe him, so Harry claims it’s his, begs her not to go to the police and, in desperation, forces her into his basement and locks the door. And the more we think about how the story of Inside Man is set up and structured, the more we think that this four-part miniseries is patently ridiculous. The woman who was the initial victim, an investigative reporter named Beth Davenport (Lydia West), approaches the woman, Janice Fife (Dolly Wells), to thank her and gives Janice her card before Janice gets in a car with the local vicar, Harry Watling (David Tennant). Our Take: We’re starting to think that Steven Moffat, who created and wrote Inside Man, is the British equivalent of Ryan Murphy. [Steven Moffat](https://decider.com/tag/steven-moffat/) is one of the more revered writers/showrunners on TV, mainly because the high points of his career — [Sherlock](https://decider.com/show/sherlock/), [Coupling](https://decider.com/show/coupling/), [Doctor Who](https://decider.com/show/doctor-who/) — have had some exhilarating moments. He picks up Janice and brings her to his house; she’s a math tutor for his son Ben (Louis Oliver). Meanwhile, in a maximum security prison in the United States, death row inmate Jefferson Grieff (Stanley Tucci) is summoned by a senator to solve a mystery involving his wife and money coming into his account whenever they have sex. On another day, Harry is about to leave work at his church, when Edgar (Mark Quartley), a worker at the church, bursts into his office and asks him to take a thumb drive full of his porn.

What is the Meaning of 253.55 on 'Inside Man'? (Decider)

The first episode of 'Inside Man' revolves around the case of 235.55 being dropped into the bank account of a senator. But why?

Now in her fifties, Cadiz most likely expands the size of the text message, so instead of seeing “pay therapist,” she reads “pay the rapist $253.55.” Cadiz continues to keep secretly making the payments every single time she receives a text message from Mrs. However, she’s not sending the money through the regular account “because her husband would see it, and she’s not ready to have that conversation.” No, the therapist is being paid secretly by someone else through another hidden bank account: Ms. But after he leaves, it becomes the most confusing puzzle for audiences, as well as his friend and physical recorder (he has photographic memory) Dillon (Atkins Estimond), who doesn’t understand what it is. As a result, every time she does, she goes to a therapist and must make sure to pay them after. Yet the best and most interesting case Jefferson solves focuses on a specific number amount: 253.55
