Carol Midgley The Times (UK) 07/29/2024
3/5
It ticks every single box for soothing Sunday TV. Being a sort of Death in Paradise in Bath, though, it gives us not sun-drenched beaches but nice Georgian architecture. Go to Full Review
Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) 07/22/2024
3/5
It operates on good vibes rather than brilliant plotting and characterisation. It’s just a pleasurable watch, which is quite a rare thing to find these days so I’m not knocking it. Go to Full Review
Aidan Smith Scotsman 07/25/2024
3/5
Is it created by AI? No. A robot operating the trusty ITV mincer? Not quite. But it does borrow from other mainstream, unchallenging whodunnits? Yes. Somehow, though, it works. Go to Full Review

Moon K @RT17180283 01/03/2025 Simpel en vermakelijk zonder gevloek of sex scènes om tijd in te vullen. Even een uurtje ontspannen, voor zover mogelijk met al die tot reclame blokken er tussenin See more Jay E @RT54760222 08/02/2024 The scripts are tight and taut. The characters make a fine ensemble. Plots are so good, you’ll never guess whodunnit, until they figure it out. May we have some more PLEASE! See more Tony H @RT42572191 07/21/2024 Season 4 Ep1.Disappointing and disjointed storyline.Sunday night yawn. See more Ali S @AliSPere 07/07/2024 Great writing and acting. Entertaining and enjoyable. Love the title music as well See more Alicia L C @RT14594493 06/20/2024 McDonald and Dodds strikes a unique tone, blending humor with mystery. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, making it easy to connect with the characters. The characters playful performance adds to the show’s appeal, even when the plot stretches believability. Excellent show!! See more peter d @RT99592614 06/15/2024 Having been hooked in by series 1, 2 and 3 , I eagerly awaited series 4. Was I expecting too much? Was my memory of the previous seasons too rose coloured? S4Ep1 was disappointing - not a bad storyline but at least 20 minutes too long. Ep 2 was good so I thought we were back to the old heights. But Ep 3 was a shocker - an overly contrived storyline, a coincidence too big to be believed DCI on the same plane as the alleged killer sparking a dream AND involving a wedding) and a flat finish. If there is to be a series 5, then stick to 60 minute episodes, keep the storylines believable and cut out the improbable. See more Read all reviews
