Death in Paradise is different from other British detective shows as it is set in the Caribbean and it focuses on the humour of a 'fish out of water' scenario, rather than the serious investigations like Midsomer Murders or A Touch of Frost. Ben Miller is very funny as the big time London cop who is sent, much to his dismay, to this Caribbean Island of Saint Marie, where the means are minimal at best and where it is always warm (and not cold and rainy, like London). That doesn't keep him from wearing his suit, though. He earns the respect of his officers by solving the crimes with limited means. They do think he's a little weird because he's set in his English ways. All in all, I recommend it if you can keep an open mind and do not expect a 'standard' British detective show.
