A brilliant but idiosyncratic British detective and his resourceful local team solve baffling murder mysteries on the fictional Caribbean island of Saint Marie.

What viewers say

A long-running British mystery set on a sunny Caribbean island, and viewers love the escapist scenery, a puzzle-style locked-room murder each episode, the humor and the fish-out-of-water detectives. Fans treat it as relaxing comfort viewing. Common critiques are a repetitive formula, frequent changes of lead detective that split fans, and simplified local characters.

Best for: Viewers who want sunny, light puzzle mysteries to unwind with.
