Ok I don't care about other reviewers rubbishing this. It doesn't pretend to be Line of Duty or Happy Valley. It's a light hearted mystery wrapped up within an hour. Put on your PJs, slippers, make a cup of tea (or a pina colada to get in the mood) and sit back on a cold winters night and imagine being on a ship visiting exotic locations, sun, sand, good food and a mystery murder to solve. Times are difficult for some now and the escapism this offers is most welcome.
The main actor plays an ex detective who is now a ship crooner/entertainer. He is very charming and charismatic in this role and I really enjoy the theme song as well. Every episode is set in a different country or location. I understand that a Christmas special and another season is being planned and that is terrific news. Can't wait.
