Review by wood-gledhow

We love these well plotted and amusing crime series. The acting is nuanced, the script witty and it's an ideal length. At around an hour it's long enough to have enough plot without being convoluted. The cast are a good blend of cynical, open, sincere and honest. There's also an emotional subplot that fits neatly. None of it jars.

We've never watched Death in Paradise so can't say how it does or doesn't measure up in that respect. Kris Marshall is convincing as an eccentric police officer and the rest of the actors based at the police station are also entertaining.

So, please don't cancel this after one series. Let's keep it going to find out where it might take us.
