I Misteri di 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.

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.

This show has lots of potential! The characters are likable and intriguing, the locations absolutely breathtaking, and the dialogue rings true. It's a small English town so you just know it's full of secrets, lies, and crimes. Th acting is quite good, what this program needs is better writing. Solid 7, would be a 9 if the writing was better.

Pearl Nolan runs a restaurant and a Detective Agency, her investigations often cross with those of Detective Inspector Mike McGuire, a straight talking, grief stricken cop.

This show is the reason I pay my Acorn subscription, one of the best shows on the platform. It will definitely appeal to fans of shows like Mallorca Files, Father Brown and Midsomer Murders, it's light, but definitely intriguing and suspenseful.

It must have done wonders for the tourism in Whitstable, it looks incredible in parts, very picturesque.

The cases are always intriguing, but the characters just offer a little bit more than most shows, they're so well realised.

Kerry Godliman and Howard Charles are both terrific, and their relationship becomes one of the show's most interesting elements, they really play off one another very well.

The supporting cast are very good, especially Frances Barber, Dolly is wonderful, shades of Patsy Stone.

8/10.

I love Pearl and the Detective! Her mom is funny! Will there be a season 2?
