DI Goodman is back on the case.
DI Humphrey Goodman takes up his new post in Devon, leaving The Caribbean well and truly in the past.
If you're a fan of Death in Paradise, you should like it, if you were a fan of Kris Marshall's spell in Saint Marie, then I think you're going to love it.
It's different enough from Death in Paradise, to not just be DiP without the weather, but there's also something very familiar and cosy about it.
It's quite light, it's verging on afternoon drama, but it's engaging, intriguing enough, and has a few laughs.
Spinoffs don't always work, and very few seem to last, but there's enough here, providing it does well, for this to run.
I adored Humphrey, and he's as goofy here as he was before, but additionally he's as sharp, clever and observant, he's lost none of his quirkiness, none of his character, he's picked up exactly where he left off.
It's nicely produced, it's an area I know very well, mixing up Devon and Cornwall, that's going to rile a few people, hopefully it'll put both counties on the map.
It's a winner, 8/10.
