What on earth has happened to what used to be a 'must watch' programme ?
In recent times, it has deteriorated so badly as to be bordering on the unwatchable. The acting is stiff and wooden and the stories formulaic, the direction jumps around all over the place and the scripts are on the verge of becoming ludicrous. The cast have become stereotypical and unattractive, with only Don Warrington and Elizabeth Bourgine surviving from the original series and now providing the only relief from the tedium created by a series of almost identical story lines which are dull, tedious and boring.
Ben Miller, Kris Marshall and Ardal O'Hanlon with the wonderful support of Danny John-Jules, Sara Martins and Josephine Jobert brought character and interest to the programmes, almost all of which has now been lost with a third rate cast of nonentities. I'll give it 6 out of 10 on the basis that the earlier series were worth 9s and 10s, while the recent episodes barely rate a 1 or 2.
Time for 'Death in Paradise' to be its own final victim.
