Paradise Lost

This second spin-off from the extremely successful BBC series, Death in Paradise seems a bit of an odd affair. Filmed in beautiful Australia and staring a largely Aussie cast it seems to have dropped the "fish out of water" scenario of the original. One episode in and it's yet to be revealed what will replace this component that will make it stand out from so many other police shows.

Having said that, since its release in Australia on ABC in September and this month on BBC One in the UK, obviously it has been sufficiently successful that it seems a second series is more likely than not. As with the original this is drama with a light touch; there's humorous moments and a main storyline that's not too taxing. Well worth giving a go.
