Long overdue for termination?
It has been said several times already here. This serie was so good in the beginning. With Ben Miller and the natural beauty Sara Martins there was a dream team suiting well. The fun and english stiffness of Miller counteracted with the determination of Martins worked very well, with Danny John-Jules as Dwayne caring for the local atmosphere. Since Miller departed after Season 2, it all went downhill. Kris Marshall as his agitated replacement did not convince me, also the fun/comedy character of the serie so far barely was preserved. Didn't take long and also Martins left. I lost my interest somewhere towardd end of season 3. Having watched some later, single episodes did only prove to me how even more downhill the hole serie went in the meantime. The successor of the already pale Marshall as inspector is even worse, the fun/comedy almost completely absent now, and I see the hole original team has left now. Not really suprising.
7 Stars for season 1+2. More fun to rewatch one of its episodes than others of the new seasons. To be fair, as exculpation it must be mentioned that the filming location in the Caribbean is very counterproductive for a long-term engagement of the mostly european main characters. A pity.
