This week the Netflix Jukebox threw a British murder mystery drama at me called Death In Paradise…
The show begins with a British police officer having to go to a Caribbean island to solve the mystery of the murder of his colleague who was working on the island.
It’s kind of like a version of Murder She Wrote and Heartbeat only it’s set in the Caribbean. It does have a few famous faces from the UK in it but it doesn’t have the brilliant soundtrack like Heartbeat or the brilliance of Jessica Fletcher.
I’ve never been a big fan of mystery dramas and I’d be quite happy just seeing who was murdered and then skipping to the end to see who done it. I don’t really want to watch someone solving all the clues, I just want the closure. Therefore I was bored watching this for 50 out of the 52 minutes it lasted.
Don’t get me wrong, if you like this type of show then I can see the light-heartedness appeal and the quirky charm but it’s just not for me.
Top tip for anyone – don’t move to this island because it seems there will be a murder each episode but I can’t say that for sure as I won’t be continuing to watch this.
Have you watched it? What do you think?
For more randomness take a look at my Facebook, Twitter and YouTube accounts…
I sort of enjoyed the trailer until it repeated the same “message” continually: British man can’t stand island life, meets beautiful woman who can’t stand British man. My prediction is that they’ll fall in love after about 50 murders.

The second series is much better after this guy gets killed off. The new detective is so funny.

No, it is on TV right now. I just wrote about it on my last post. I like the idea of the parcels with the country names on and of course showcasing Vienna.
