Season 15 Review: DI Wilson feels like a real person. He is conflicted, a bit tetchy and fond of a fry‑up. That gritty quality adds something new to a ratings winner that, in every other sense, feels happy to exist in a time‑warp of its own devising. Read full review

Season 14 Review: For now, the huge Death in Paradise fanbase will be relieved Gilet has taken to the job like a natural. Fingers crossed, he sticks around long enough to leave a lasting impression. Read full review

Season 14 Review: The journey to solving the mystery was enjoyable. .... As for the relationships between Wilson and the Saint Marie police force; they need work. Wilson isn’t as self-consciously quirky or comedic as his predecessors. Read full review

Season 10 Review: Down on St Marie, there isn’t much tension, because the storyline is so ropey. Read full review

Season 10 Review: It's a fruity cocktail of all the things we're missing: sun, sea, sand and frivolity. Read full review

Season 10 Review: It’s still an easy watch and the returning characters feel like old friends, from Don Warrington as the Commissioner to Tobi Bakare as the enthusiastic JP. There was a welcome return for Joséphine Jobert as DS Florence Cassell. Read full review

Season 10 Review: It is a steady hand, sometimes silly, vaguely taxing and utterly dependable. In the nicest possible way, the cast is irrelevant: you get the sense that it would thrive, no matter which familiar TV face was at the front of it. It is a crime show wrapped up in a dad joke, with lovely scenery, and it offers up all the satisfaction of finishing a crossword. Read full review
