Death in Paradise (2011)

tv series


On S2 E6 now and enjoying this series. 4 seasons have been produced with a 5th season to be shown by BBC in 2016. N*****x PLEASE BUY SEASONS 3+. While I do guess a few of the plot points, this series is well acted, written and has a great non-CGI location. It is amusing to think of the percentage of murders to total population of this small Caribbean island, especially since DI Richard Poole (Ben Miller) showed up. However the murder very often has an off-island origin relevant to the case. Murderers and their even their victims are not always locals. Another point of interest is a kind of amiable asperger-like behavior of DI Poole who often shows more empathy and sociability to his lizard roommate (a gecko) then to his human co-workers. Even with only 16 episodes streaming on this supplier, I can see each of the main characters growing and becoming more interesting. Here's hoping the other seasons of Death in Paradise make it to this service. 


UPDATE (July 2015) Just binge watched season 3. While initially unhappy regarding the change of a main character, I have come around. This series still has regular characters with personalities and energy. The murder mysteries while decent but not too challenging are still fun to unravel. Hope future seasons of Death in Paradise are added to this streaming service.
