Death in Paradise review: it's no Luther – and thank heavens for that
Ralf Little’s detective has to deal with his own foibles as he attempts to solve yet another murder on the cosy island idyll, in a series refreshingly free of ‘darkness’

Death in Paradise (BBC One) has become the comfy jumper of British television. It is familiar, warm and dependable, and it continues to make a programme that revolves around murder seem cosy and comforting. As the 10th series arrives, there have been some personnel changes – Ardal O’Hanlon has gone, having been replaced by Ralf Little’s nervy, allergic DI Neville Packer halfway through season nine, and DS Florence Cassell is back after a series-long hiatus. But otherwise, even if Danny John-Jules’s Officer Dwayne Meyers is no longer on the force, it is as regular as waves lapping on the shore. Someone is killed, the mystery is unravelled, there is a satisfactory ending – and plenty of bad jokes.
