The 11th season of "Death in Paradise" has been solid so far with only the fourth episode being very underwhelming. This entry is yet another enjoyable one. It's not great, but miles away from bad.
Let' s start with the good aspects, shall we?
. The production values of this episode are great like usual. The direction is gorgeous and the music fits the scenery. The acting's fine. Ginny Holder continues to be lovely as Darlene and out of the decent guest stars Nicholas R. Bailey is the most interesting.
. The mystery is suitably complex. There are some clever twists and turns and the solution (Orla being the one, who is the attacker) is satisfying enough. Izzy is much tolerable than she was in the previous episode.
But....
. At times the writing can be quite sloppy at times with some untied endings and unnatural dialogue.
. There are way too many subplots in this story, which do not always collide with the main plot, making the mystery itself hard to follow some time.
Overall, a good day in Paradise.
7/10 HK.
