qui_j This is an entertaining series with the gorgeous landscape of Cornwall and Devon as a backdrop. Unfortunately, the dots are not always well connected in some of the episodes so it does leave the viewers scratching their heads at times, wondering how an incident in one scene is connected to the previous one. As long as it's not taken too seriously, the characters make it great fun and one feels that the best thing in life would be to go and live in the picturesque little village there.
grandmabrat The first problem is I do not understand their Coroner system and they don't explain it. I like learning from British shows. The second one is that this is only 2 seasons! I wanted a couple more. The scenery is lovely and more current than some British shows. The characters are humorous and subtle at the same time. I like the fact that the violence is a lot less than in other shows and it is more intellectual, as if you were solving the murder/death yourself. I'd live in that village any day.
creekdogs I TOTALLY agree with another poster on here ('Trite and typical') - he wrote EVERYTHING I feel about this show! I think getting rid of the three characters he suggested (the mother and her boyfriend, daughter) would have vastly improved this series. The over the hill sex kitten crap was WAY over the top (the mother of the Coroner)and totally ruined the show for me. One episode found Jane looking for a house of her own - and it was gorgeous! So what does she do? She decides to continue LIVING WITH HER MOTHER. Utter nonsense . . they should have had her buy the house and get more involved with her ex. The scenery is just beautiful however.
trimmerb1234 An interesting reversal of the Midsommer Murders lastingly successful formula of pretty locations, impeccably kept gardens, respectable folk with interesting and surprisingly murderous passions. Places one might like to visit for afternoon tea or a fete, safe in the knowledge that the locals only murder each other and no shrubbery was even rustled let alone harmed in the process. With luck meeting and buying a pint for the charming Jim Barnaby in the short gaps between murders. This in contrast is East Enders on Sea - not the (neighbouring) Thames estuary but beauty and tourist hot spot Totnes, Devon. The same East-Enders duv-duv-duv climaxes. Slags and geezers being caught bang to rights for ugly commonplace crimes in pretty as a picture locations, pursued by a specially charmless female coroner with a spectacularly unattractive voice (presumably intended to convey the character's independence, toughness and competence) The acting, scripts and cast are mediocre. As I write a bearded Basil Exposition character is laboriously spelling out the plot. It concludes with the unattractive duo enjoying a drink, spoiling the view of the absolutely gorgeous scenery behind them.Is there a Totnes bypass? I think they'll soon need one. Not to avoid the traffic but to avoid the place.
