Review by ukgreek

One episode in and it's just... okay. Scenery is great. Acting is above average. Stories might be interesting. Characters are okay, but the sense of humour... why all the rolled eyes when he's doing reasonably good and *logical* police work? They all look amateurish and badly trained next to his lines of inquiry. He's not a loon, so their skepticism just comes off as small-town ignorance and uncalled for, which is not enjoyable. The plots and scripts need to be better to justify the direction. Humphries act is a bit bumbling and that's not exactly charming, but at least someowhat amusing.

The comparisons to Death in Paradise, IDK, they're not really worthwhile. DoP has become a parody of itself, nothng against the actors. But so much of the shows have to do with the locale, and they're different enough.
