Just thought I would post a link to this as sometime ago there was a thread about BBC daytime crime series and how sometimes they were better that high profile 9pm slot series.

Have not seen any of it even a trailing to it might be rubbish.

But probably nice and sunny to look at!

sorry too late and too tired to control my fingers!

correction - Have not seen any of it, not even a trailer, so it might be rubbish.

Placemarking so that I remember to set it up to record...

Cheers for heads-up, I could do with some cheery, sunny silliness!Smile

Looking interesting.

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/11/2019 17:45

Just downloaded. And set planner for rest

I usually love the bbc 1 2/3pm dramas

Easy watching

Will be back once seen

mogtheexcellent · 25/11/2019 20:59

Have only just seen this. It's not been advertised on TV or social media as far as I can see. Will set to record. Hope its good.

supercee · 25/11/2019 22:16

I got as far as 17 mins in and had to turn it off Confused

thenightsky · 26/11/2019 10:14

Why?

supercee · 26/11/2019 12:32

It just wasn't for me, not my cup of tea at all. I found it ridiculous, and not in a ridiculous but good way.

I was very hungry at the time though and not in the best mood so maybe that was why it was giving me irrational rage.

TheNameGames · 26/11/2019 12:51

I quite liked it! Will be watching again

mogtheexcellent · 26/11/2019 14:01

Its better than watching bargain hunt. Ive only seen the first spisode so it may improve.

stumbledin · 26/11/2019 14:44

Oh dear, I'm so sorry.

That was terrible - worse even than death in paradise which is cringe making.

Such a shame some of the other day time crime series have been quite good.

It was very cheesy but I enjoyed the scenery 😀

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/11/2019 21:10

Tried it

Watched the first 15m. Deleted it

Then deleted the series link off planner

Rubbish

aggitatedstate · 26/11/2019 21:12

Utter shite. Got 12mins in.

fussychica · 27/11/2019 09:01

2nd episode better I thought but I'm really watching it for the scenery.

PrincessSarene · 27/11/2019 09:04

I actually quite like it Blush

Suits me quite well for what it is, but then I am sleep deprived and in pain all day (pregnant, due in 2 days, bad SPD) so my bar is quite low for what classes as acceptable entertainment at the moment!

thenightsky · 27/11/2019 16:30

Half way through the second episode and its not getting any better.

icelolly99 · 28/11/2019 09:51

We're watching it; lovely scenery. Not sure about the quality yet. Will stick with it to see if it's a grower.

Kochicoo · 29/11/2019 19:28

I quite enjoyed it - as long as you don't expect too much and just want easy watching. I love seeing dramas set in sunny places though.

kazzaD66 · 29/11/2019 21:56

It's fairly crap but I do like Max and there is an easy chemistry between him and Miranda - and I'm jealous of her hair, figure and wardrobe. I love her cigarette pants suits and smart shirts! It's 45 minutes of escapism in the sun on a dark winter afternoon Grin

mogtheexcellent · 29/11/2019 22:00

I'm on the 4th episode and its growing on me. If the first episode had featured more glamour with missing models or stolen artwork I think it wouldn't have put so many people off.

WineOrGinOrBoth · 08/12/2019 17:09

This has definitely grown on me. I like their chemistry. Just got the last 2 to watch.

PerkingFaintly · 08/12/2019 17:15

Same here. Missed the first one, didn't bother watching to end of 2nd. Now enjoying the sun, scenary and silliness.Grin

Hels20 · 08/12/2019 18:15

Why do women always have to be uptight, stressed etc? And men always easy going? I find it really annoying. I don’t dislike the series - I watch an episode when I am running on treadmill but wish they had swapped the stereotypes around. I find it passive aggressive sexism

WineOrGinOrBoth · 08/12/2019 20:01

Loved the last episode- clearly a Simon Cowell!
