Good at the beginning but it's gone downhill.
I really enjoyed the pilot. I'm familiar with Kris Marshall who played the same character DI Humphrey Goodman in "Death in Paradise", the bumbling detective who always solved the case. It's set in Cornwall and reminds me of the series "Doc Martin", which was also set in a coastal village in Cornwall.
Good script with enough twists and turns to keep the story interesting and a logical conclusion. Good cast Salley Bretton, Barbara Flynn, Felicity Montagu and others. Chris Jenks is so funny, he's a regular in "Sex Education" and "Karen Pirie", shame he's only in one episode.
Up to Season 5 and it's become boring. The quirky village with all its characters worked for "Doc Martin" but this is a crime/police drama. There are too many subplots with Humphrey and Martha adopting and Martha and her restaurant. Archie and Esther's relationship and Esther and Zoe (mother and daughter) and their relationship. And Kelby and his relationship with Chief Super Woods. Chris Jenks should have been cast as Kelby, he's a much better actor.
The series has lost it focus.
