Death in Paradise

The very english DI Poole and more Caribbean styled Camille Bordey

If you want to watch a light-weight crime comedy-drama set in the Caribbean, you have no better option than tune into BBC's Death in Paradise. The first episode shows DI Richard Poole arriving from London with a cultural crash to the fictional island of Saint-Marie. He is assigned to solve the murder of the former English DI.

In true Agatha Christie style he summons all the suspects at the end of the first (and every other) episode and solves the mystery. Because of the success he has to stay on the island, and the series rolls on in the same fashion like:

* Many visiting and resident British people which are surprisingly notoriously criminal

* A very high crime rate on such a small island (but not as high as Midsomer Murders)

* Poole struggles with the heat and generally the not-so-english way of living

* His non-existent understanding of female interest. 

Death in Paradise is right now into its third series, this time with DI Goodman as the new "boss".
If you during the series want to visit Saint-Marie, you have to go to the French islands of Guadeloupe instead. Probably it would be much safer there than in "Death in Paradise"!

DI Goodman has replaced DI Poole in Series 3
