Death in Paradise

[sparkythecat]

I can't decide whether this is supposed to be a serious drama or a sitcom as it's neither serious enough, nor funny enough, to sit in either camp. It appears lost somewhere between Midsomer Murders and Benidorm.

Am I missing the point, or is this series actually pointless ?

[MSport Calendar]

No, I think your assessment is correct. It's just a lightweight who-dun-it with a fairly heavyweight cast.

[SpeedBash]

So, not worth watching?

[telecat]

No Ben Miller is doing his Straight man whichh is pretty good. The Twists are good as well.

Ben Miller plays the MET copper just right. Last week 6 suspects, 5 white and 1 black guy

Guess who done it?

[Lady Muck]

It is a bit flimsy but I am finding it light enough to leave my brain somewhere and be entertained. It's harmless and will never be an award winner.

The butler.

And the cops are?????

They played to a stereotype. But not the race one.

I know I wasnt being serious

As already mentioned above I'm enjoying it a light hearted way

I thought it was pretty good - not taxing but watchable.

The new doctor on Casualty was killed on her wedding day.A bit confusing.

I've quite liked these 2 episodes though.

A fun and enjoyable hour of original(ish) entertainment. Looking forward to the next show.

Having watched another episode, I've discovered that the actor who plays Dwayne


is actually the same guy who played the cat in Red Dwarf
