Death in Paradise



I am always on the lookout for fun TV shows to watch because I am a TV junkie who revels in low brow entertainment for the masses.

Netflicks has become a great resource for me as we find series that we can binge watch and wallow in an interesting storyline and an often an exotic locale. "Harry Bosch" on Amazon was in LA which is exotic for me. "Bloodline" also on Amazon in the Florida Keys. "The Finder" another Florida show. "Doc Martin" set in Cornwall. "Orphan Black" in Toronto. Now we have found a new one.

"Murder in Paradise." It is your classic fish out of water story with an uptight British detective sent toe the laid back St Marie police station in the fictional island of St Marie in the Caribbean. Detective Inspector Poole is played by Ben Miller one of my favorites from "Primeval" another pretty cool English show. He is the uptight suit wearing Brit in the sunny island souronded by hot women in very little clothing. It has an interesting harmless little mystery that is not such a mystery and is all wrapped up at the end of the episode.

It is mindless and soothing and easy watching when you are winding down from a horrible day at work. Good fun.

Spoilers are tough.

Now I read about this series and it turns out one the leads gets murdered and replaced in season three.

Contract dispute.

They can be deadly.
