I've never watched it but it is incredibly popular abroad apparently.

Obviously back in the day, a Morecambe and Wise guest spot was the Blue Riband, but this 'guest star' gig and the free holiday that comes with it is the current BBC 21st century badge of honour.
AGENT The BBC want to know if you'll guest in Death In Paradise?
ACTOR Never heard of it. Is it any good?
AGENT No. It's a mediocre crime-drama filmed in the Carribean.
ACTOR I'll do it

They ought to mix it up a bit, how about:-
Darth In Paradise.
"Luke there's sand in my boot again".
"Chewwie is it me or is it hot here?"
"Jabba stop playing Reggae, it gets right on my tits".

I imagine he gets signed by Newcastle.
They only have to hear the words “so-and-so has left…” and they’ll offer a multi-million pound package…

Even better news, the BBC has confirmed that filming has commenced on the first Christmas special and second series of Beyond Paradise.
The Christmas special episode and second series will see the return of Kris Marshall as DI Humphrey Goodman, Sally Bretton as Martha Lloyd, Zahra Ahmadi as DS Esther Williams, Dylan Llewellyn as PC Kelby Hartford, Barbara Flynn as Anne Lloyd and Felicity Montagu as Margo Martins.
Filmed in picturesque locations around South-West England in Devon and Cornwall, Shipton Abbott’s new detective inspector will be tasked with solving a shocking crime on a steam train, an arson attack predicted by a medium and the baffling disappearance of the local fishing legend.

A second spin-off, Return To Paradise, has now started production in and around Sydney, Australia.
Taking charge as the franchise’s first lead female detective is Anna Samson as DI Mackenzie Clarke. Unravelling the murder mysteries alongside Anna is the exciting ensemble cast of Lloyd Griffith, Tai Hara, Catherine McClements, Celia Ireland, Andrea Demetriades and Aaron McGrath.
Clarke is an Australian ex-pat who’s made a name for herself in London’s Metropolitan Police for cracking uncrackable murder cases. When she is accused of tampering with evidence, Clarke returns to Australia, back to the last place she ever wanted to be – her hometown of Dolphin Cove. Having fled the town six years ago, infamously leaving her ex- fiancée Glenn (Hara) at the altar, Clarkeis not welcome there.
But with no other job options, and a unique talent for solving a mystery, no matter how challenging, a reluctant ‘Mack’ joins the team at Dolphin Cove Police Station. Once a case lands on her desk, she can’t rest until she’s figured it out, and the killer is in handcuffs. It’s that tenacity and work ethic that might just, over time, help Mack win over her new colleagues, and the people of Dolphin Cove.

I watched this - they play the whole thing, it's amazing! And totally bizarre at the same time?!
Death in Paradise and Beyond Paradise are proper guilty pleasures of mine, love them both. Not Crodo style, I proper love them! Gutted Ralf is off now after being thoroughly irritated by him at first.

I see you liked my post from 2018 about this - but I have to admit that I have found the last 2 series of DiP really boring and uninspiring. I never really warmed to Neville tbh, and I just found it became a bit...tired. We would still have it on as the wife enjoys it, but they need to do something to freshen it up in the next series to grab my attention again. Much prefer Beyond Paradise with Humph, as its just that little bit different.

Agreed, sunshine and a cheesy detective show, whats not to like. I have enjoyed all the detectives.
I know its a tired format, but i never tire of the show itself.
I also watch all the spin offs. Its probably the only thing i watch on regular TV

Watched them all, I’ll tell you why, when my boy was about 8 or 9 it was something that all three of us could sit and watch, his first ‘grown up’ programme.
Anyhoo, now he’s 15 he’s more cynical than I ever was but his mother still forces us to all watch it. He just sits there commenting.”this is shit” “they’d never do that in real life” “why don’t the suspects just leap that two foot high fence and leg it?” “So at 3 o’clock in the afternoon in the middle of a murder investigation they’re all going down Cathrines bar to get pissed are they?” ….and so on. While I’m just sitting there giggling to myself while Mrs PWK is doing an impersonation of Phil Mitchell

Yep, it’s great escapism.
The only thing I didn’t like about this season was it being moved to Sunday’s, it was perfect winter Friday night, wind down and chill out TV! So the other half and I still watch it at 9pm on Friday nights instead on iPlayer!
