When a millionaire dies, and his family's surprised, that's a will change! Jack Wright (Trevor Eve) is dead as a doornail, but despite it looking like suicide, that turned out all to be window dressing. Someone offed the family patriarch, either because they believed they stood to inherit when he died, or because they knew a new will had been created that changed everything.

And you think your family has problems? I, Jack Wright, the new series from Chris Lang (Unforgotten), kicks off with the apparent suicide of the title character (Trevor Eve), a millionaire on his third wife. As one can imagine, with that many wives, Jack leaves behind many, many confused and not-so-happy family members. They become even more unhappy once it is revealed Jack, unbeknownst to anyone, had changed lawyers and rewritten his will a mere month before his death.

It’s always the ones you least suspect, as the season finale of Ludwigkicks off with a shocking plot twist. The previous episode ended with Holly calling Lucy, saying she needed to speak to her about her husband. But if you thought we would see that meeting, you were wrong. Instead, the opening shot is of Holly’s dead body. It gets worse: Lucy is in front of a police car holding a bloody knife. EEEEK! Ludwig is bringing Lucy coffee in the morning (or so he thinks!) when the doorbell rings.

How do you solve an unsolvable puzzle? That’s the case Ludwig is trying to crack in Season 1’s penultimate episode. Ludwig and Carter are called to investigate the apparent suicide of a private school headmaster, Mr. Durose (Christopher Parramore). The case resonates with Ludwig because it’s where he went to school, and his beloved math professor, Mr. Todd (Derek Jacobi), is still on staff. Even Carter doesn’t think it’s an open-and-shut case this time.

By his own admission, Ludwig is “quite the legend” in the puzzle-making field. But he has one puzzle — reverse chess — that never quite took off. “Nobody could ever solve them,” Ludwig laments. But finally! Finally! Reverse chess gets its moment to shine in Ludwig's fourth episode. In this game, the player doesn’t try to anticipate the next move their opponent will make in a chess game. Instead, they try to figure out all the moves their opponent has made before.
