Started watching Series 2 of Whitstable Pearl. On U&Drama.Started enjoying series 1 of Whitstable Pearl now on Drama channel Thurs 9pm & UKTV Play on-demand online.
The main characters always have lovely houses on the beachfront looking over the coastline, surely affordable on a restaurant owner's salary as a former police trainee!
The guy playing the sullen depressed detective seems too young to be a Detective Chief Inspector (same rank as Morse) is a bit too wooden, but the Kent atmosphere and plotlines are good. Oysters all round!
Also enjoyed the fluff Sunday night Death in Paradise finale, Inspector Neville Parker ridiculously got his dream send off and the replacement Beyond Paradise filmed around Looe and Devon/Cornwall with former DiP actor Kris Marshall hamming it up as the clumsy slightly eccentric detective with Martha living on an implausible houseboat outside his mother in-law's coast-side house, let's suspend believability for the fun of it!
DCI Mike McGuire is more morose and depressed than ever!
