Whitstable Pearl

This show is for people who like mysteries set in quaint, small towns with a likeable protagonist and charming, recurring characters. It's for oriole who like she's like "Midsomer Murders", "Doc Martin", "Father Brown", "New Tricks", etc. Light entertainment and (after the first episode) I've grown to really like the two leads.

It has enough comedy with the 'will they won't they' romance. The mysteries are light and realistic.

And it's in Whitstable, that's worth a star.

I disagree with the reviewer who said it was boring, I found it enjoyable and engaging and the characters as well as the actors who are playing them were all very good. Highly recommended and cannot wait until they bring out more seasons.

... now heading into its third season, has been a most enjoyable two season series so far... seems all pieces fit very well together... good-script-cast-production-values... all are some of the best for the genre

... his character's a bit weary-wearing lots of times, but not sure how it could be toned-down and still remain true to the storyline... overall all of the leads are amiable-people... one critic writing.. "Like so many series on Acorn, this one's about good people doing their best. Even the criminals have good reasons for what they do, sometimes unintentionally. The scenery along the coast of England is beautiful, the characters are mostly kind and good, the series is charming. Take a look if you can." ... sounds about right.

If you like your mysteries cosy rather than gritty, then I'd give this one a try. I really like Howard Charles anyway and Kerry Godliman is a great lead actress. Quirky characters and lovely scenery.
