The Good Ship Murder

[48k]

I can't decide if it's so bad it's good, or if it's so bad, it's bad.

It feels like a the love child of Triangle, Eldorado and Midsummer Murders.

Anyone else "enjoying" it ?

Watched it as someone else wanted to, the basic premise of it is utterly stupid and not even close to pretending to be credible.

Mostly it was just a standard ITV crime drama repackaged onto a boat, without any attempt to make sense of shifting the 'police' characters into being random members of crew.

Yes I don't think it is supposed to be believable in that sense, it appears to be of the same ilk as Midsomer Murders / Death in Paradise as opposed to gritty true-to-life crime drama.

Can't lie, at one point I was expecting to hear Ruth Madoc "bong - bing - bang..... the knobbly knees competition is about to start on the main deck...."

I thought it was a good bit of light relief full of current and ex Corrie and Emmerdale actors. Something that you can switch your brain off and enjoy.

Bit harsh on Midsummer Murders which in comparison is ok.
It whiled away an hour but wouldn’t bother to watch again.

Mrs 48k is currently watching the second one.

I compared the first one to Midsomer Murders and Eldorado. I think that is doing them both a great disservice.

So so so so bad.
We managed 15mins and then gave up. Was looking forwards to it as well.

It's actually so bad I can't stop watching it.

Definitely this generation's Eldorado.

Madame Blanc on a boat, wouldn't surprise me if it was the same production company.

It’s so bad that for some reason I’m still watching it just to find fault - especially with the continuity.
