What better way to sit down an a cold grey December afternoon? The blue skies and easy going plots represent forty five minutes of pure escapism. You'll be disappointed if you're expecting anything gritty or challenging, it isn't. It fits perfectly into the afternoon category, joining Father Brown and Shakespeare and Hathaway, and whilst it doesn't quite reach the standard of the crime fighting clergyman it's still a very good watch.
The two leads are very likeable, good fun, I thought they worked very well together. I'm glad to see a second series is planned for 2020, these afternoon dramas are easy to watch (on catch-up.)
Sour Grapes and Night of the Stag are the best of the episodes. My favourite new show of 2019, they improve with every episode.

This ain't going to win any BAFTAs but it's fun and relaxing. A bit like 'Death in Paradise'.
Anyone who takes this series seriously, needs to get a life or a humor or both! Yes, it's full of cop show cliches including a crabby Mallorcan Chief of Police (why are they always crabby) and the crimes are more humorous than shocking, which all adds up to quirky, sometimes silly but always entertaining lighthearted fun. Enough serious, "noir" psychological thrillers that are usually so dark they are depressing or have so much gore, they're disgusting. Just sit back, relax and enjoy this one.
If you have an aged relative who doesn't like evening TV dramas which are full of sex and violence and swearing and car chases and fight scenes then they will like this. It's got a vibe of other daytime shows such as "Shakespeare and Hathaway" and "Father Brown" with a nod to the 60s Avengers series. 7/10 for being fun but I've only seen episode one. If this descends into the usual BBC PC drivel then I may revise my opinion.
Surprised by some of the negative commentary on here. No, it's not realistic in the slightest (why would a British and German cop partner up to solve Spanish crimes on Mallorca?!), but good fun and feel good TV.
Sometimes that's exactly what's needed!
