another detective /murder series - hopefully easy watching by the coast

When a friend dies under suspicious circumstances, Pearl finds herself in conflict with g
ruff new-cop-in-town, detective Mike McGuire.

I'd not heard of this , will be watching as I was born in Whitstable too , lived there till 15 . Will be interesting to see if I recognise any places .

Waves to @butterpuffed

Waves back to @Blondeshavemorefun

Starts tomorrow

Is the one starting tonight the first series or second?

First I think

Yes tonight is s1 e1

I jumped ahead because I'll be doing something else tonight and I wanted to watch.

No spoilers, just noting that I've only been to Whitstable once and I love the setting, but also, and please look out and tell me if it's me, my TV set or do you agree, like other series I've seen lately, some of the scenes look unnecessarily dark, I mean the filming, not the content.

I thought about it but as no subtitles on download I will watch Tom as working tonight

If I record it, will subtitles be available?

Yes @Clawdy I've it set for 9pm and says S

But if you download it , it doesn't

Thanks!

There's a lot of good stuff on the Drama channel at the moment but it's all in SD. If you download their programmes from the UK TVPLAY app, you can get it in HD. The app is available on Sky catch up. So much better

I use U.K. play quite a lot

Best thing of it has subtitles

But obv have to watch once been on

Really liked that! Whitstable is my happy place and I love a good murder mystery!

Yes, I enjoyed it too, will be watching next week. I liked Pearl, her son, and the grumpy detective!

Just seen

Enjoyed

Easy watching and nice it's semi local

I enjoyed it, despite my earlier criticism of some visual issues with the dark scenes. Maybe it's my TV needs adjusting, but it isn't the same across everything.

Tbh I didn't think much of the screen was dark so maybe your tv

I enjoyed this too. Grumpy detective was an interesting character. Not so sure about the Pearl role as yet but definitely watchable.

Just watched it, TBh it didn't really draw me in but it was easy enough to watch, its got potential.

Just watched. Hope it picks up the pace a bit because it felt overly contrived. Rather too much licence with the locations and where was all the traffic! Is her beach house in Tankerton?

E2 tonight

No one watch it last night ?

I've watched it, but not in real mainstream time, so I keep quiet until others have seen it 😁

I like the series. I like it a lot more than say Beyond Paradise, is that what it's called?
