Poisoned in Paradise: A Martha's Vineyard Mystery

If you need a break from cruddy language, explicit sex, rape, torture, and bloody faces, this is great. A vacation from stressful viewing. I enjoyed the Canadian gentleness. Even if it is a murder mystery.

I liked this episode. It was better than the previous movies in this series which felt like a one hour plot stretched over two hours. I must say that I like corny mysteries like "Murder She Wrote". This isn't that, but I really enjoy the main cast especially Jesse Metcalfe. The writing is getting better. However, they should make him a part time cop so it isn't so frustrating watching him do cop stuff.

Another Martha's Vineyard story filmed in Canada and with the same weak cast of regulars.

Absolutely idiotic that this retired cop (Jesse Metcalfe) runs around the island with the lame female doctor in tow demanding to see bank records, personal information, arresting people, harassing people, chasing people etc when he has ZERO authority to do so. The island's chief cop (and doctor's daddy) shares all kinds of privileged information with these two. No one every says a word. It's all illegal and their cases would never stand up in court.

Ditto the female doctor who blabs all sorts of information about patients, autopsies, test results, etc. And never seems to work for more than an hour at a time. She spends all her time chasing after Metcalfe.

Oh and maybe import some shaving equipment over to the Vineyard. It seems none of the young men ever shave.

Everyone so wrapped up here clothes wise. Did Jesse Metcalfe really dodge Chesapeake Shores for this? Mind you the money may be better for him in which case OK that is fair enough.

It is an OK story for a wet winters afternoon I guess but nothing outstanding. So record and save for then.

The story could have been a good one, but the acting (or the directing?) was off, seemed to me to have overacting, be unnatural. The filming location was pretty obvious that it is not really Martha's Vineyard.
