Slightly obsessed with Death in Paradise at the moment. It is an oddly addictive programme and kind of daring in the fact that both the lead coppers, other than being middle class, have no inner demons to battle or axes to grind with the powers that be. I can't decide if it is a quaint little throw back to more innocent television times or a deeply subversive critique of modern, post neo noir police dramas where being grumpy is seen as depth of character.
