Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

I've always got a suggestion for this show on NetFlix and seen the listings on PBS. So I started binge watching Season 1. The main Character DI Poole is sort like Adrian Monk, which I'm a fan of, that's probably why it suggested this show to me. Crime procedural with some comedy. Poole's quirkiness makes him eccentric but not like Monk's OCD. I don't want to give out spoilers, but the Season 1-2 lead character gets replaced with a new Lead in Season 3, but I have not gotten there yet. One other thing, being like Monk, the shows seems to have one more thing in common, that is they both gather all the suspects in the end to reveal the murderer. Also there seems to be a lot of death for a small island. TBC...

If we could give this a -10, it would be appropriate. We were thoroughly entertained by the first two seasons; the characters were delightful from the beginning, the chemistry was spot on and the 'who-done-its' always kept us guessing. However, the writers destroyed everything good about this series when they killed off DI Richard Poole - they should be fired! What on earth were they thinking! We will not be watching any more episodes and we will be dissuading anyone from getting hooked on this show.

At first it was a good 'fish-out-of-water' series as DI Richard Poole (Ben Miller) adjusted to life in the tropics. Kris Marshall's DI Humphrey Goodman was a bumbling cartoon figure, who ended up in a 'Love Actually' type of plot and went back home. Now we have an actor who I do not know at all, who can not act. He adds nothing to the show. This show lives and dies by the likeability of the DI and it is not feeling well at all.

Loved the first two seasons, but Kris Marshall's character is just badly written. It's old time slapstick and no longer funny, especially after Ben Miller set the pace so well. BTW, every episode they have Polaroid- type photos of all the suspects up on a whiteboard, but no one ever has a camera! I'll go on watching it because it's still a good alternative to the bloody violence in other shows, but sloppy staging is irritating.
