Professor T

In Murder in Paradise Ben Miller was this quirky policeman with a big brain and no social finesse. Great show. In Professor T he repeat that performance. But now as an eccentric crime academic. With no social finesse and strange behavior. It works this time also. But I miss him in Murder. Better role. Emma Naomi is also really good. Well, I have seen the original Belgian Professor T. Its not better than the British cover but is a bit warmer. Hope for a new season.

I didn't see the Belgium original series and I'm glad for that, now I can enjoy the British take on it, without spoilers. It's a perfect cast, I love their acting and how they interpret the characters. The filming is superb and has a fantastic scene composition. Also has a good soundtrack, attention to set details and overall design. It gets better with each new episode, don't be discouraged by the simple crime plot of the first episode, keep watching and you will be rewarded. I can't wait for season 2. For me it's a solid 9, I think talent like this,both on filming and acting, must be recognized.

I love Ben Miller as an actor, in the series "death in paradise", he is splendid, but, compared to the Belgian version, in which a Koen De Bouw absolutely shines, you really think he has that disorder, the second you see him in scene, you know that something is not going well, he knows perfectly how to move between reality and madness, he is also supported by enormous secondary actors such as the actress Goele Derick who plays his secretary, the actor Carry Goossens his college colleague or the actor Herwig Ilegems who acts as a police officer.

I can only say that after seeing the sublime Belgian version, the British version is way behind.

I have seen all 3 series, Belgian, German and this from England. The original Belgian is my favorite and this a close second. It retains the fanciful mostly comical hallucinations that were missing in the German series. And the quirky departmental secretary is an absolute hoot in both Belgian and English series. Ben Miller's portrayal of the professor is slightly warmer than the original, which makes the character very appealing.

Ben Miller is perfect for this part , the cast is very good they play well off each other . Scenery and photography are great . Hoe this continues for a few more seasons . So few shows worth watching these days.
