What we hope is that the level of episodic mysteries on A Taste For Murder get a little bit better than the muddled one we saw in the first episode, because everything around those episodic cases makes for an interesting show. Go to Full Review Brittany Frederick TVBrittanyF.com Apr 6

David W @DorsetDave Jun 17 I can't get my head round this is an English Poloce Officer who is unofficially helping the Italian Police. The concept gets in the way of me thinking its not believable. This just wouldn't happen. See more Stephen F @RT55395227 Jun 2 Quite boring and predictable as for Warren as the lead who chose him? . Wooden comes to mind. See more Lauren B. @RT56690746 May 13 A light and fun mystery series with a touch of drama. Gorgeous scenery, all the dishes cooked with love on the show make me want to go to Italy… And rather hungry. See more Edward L @Glyndower May 12 Formulaic if entertaining Brit cop abroad series although I for one am fed up with the necessity to include an unpleasant sulking teenager in every series featuring a single parent cop. Also contains a stereotyped slimy drug-dealing local that the delinquent daughter falls for. Please! See more Darren Z. @dczander May 11 Great new show with wonderful cinematography, good characters/acting and inspiring food. See more Andrei D @RT74856639 Apr 25 The cases aren't that great but it delivers cozy murder vibes with a solid cast See more Read all reviews
