Well that's how TV commissioning works isn't it?
Take an existing format and then give the main character a slight disability/quirk.

But he doesn't even swear does he?
I watched a clip of it and he just went: "I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU! DISGUSTED EVEN!"
And the americans were bawling like he'd just shit in their grandmother's grave or something.

I was just implying that all high court judges are repressed deviants and homosexuals.
Technically it would have been more accurate and obvious if I'd said conservative MP, but there aren't that many dramas about politics.

I'd quite like to see a detective show where the main character is just incredibly boring.
No quirks or social awkwardness, just normal family life to the point of painful tedium.
