It was nice to see Ardal O'Hanlon make his debut on the island, DI Jack Mooney settled in quickly and was quickly doubting a woman's apparent suicide. If I'm honest I'd say he settled quickly into the role, I didn't need time to adjust to him like I did when Kris Marshall took over. Ardal was bright and funny, the show is wonderfully fluffy, easy viewing, and being the third comic actor in a row to head the show he'll do well. I wasn't bowled over by the story, my major annoyance watching it was why on Earth did they cast the fabulous Elizabeth Berrington in a role that let's face it could have been played by anyone, a total waste of her acting talent, arguably the most charismatic actor in the episode, such a waste. I'm already looking forward to next week's.
A good opener, but not happy about Elizabeth Berrington's thirty second role. 7/10
