chumcha07 @Cee07 Jan 29 I found this to be a welcome addition to the "Paradise" series. While it isn't as upbeat and light as the original series, I still find the show enjoyable!! The show does focus on the character and story of the Detective in the case and how she struggles to understand the dynamics of interpersonal relationships.

Although the acting by most of the cast is good, Anna Samson is second rate in this series, possibly because of the rubbish director, (as is Catherine McClements and some of the extras).

I actually think her behavior harkens back to the original Death in Paradise detective. So that opened me up for it. My main issue with the new series is that I find love triangles to be a really tired trope. Especially when the lead character is female. It seems like the go-to drama plot for women. The character is autistic and has a complicated relationship with her mom, but the series decides to focus on her love-life. Maybe people would like Mackenzie more if they were shown a bit more of her personal struggle to connect with others. I mean, she's a detective who's managed to get pretty far on her own. Don't be so lazy writing the character of Mackenzie. See more Read all reviews
