Season Two starts with the show's usual mix of extreme tragedy and comedy, although the crime is more serious, akin to the mother series' premise than Season 1. It's great that the show covers several generations because no phase of life is settled and straightforward, especially these days. However, I dislike Esther's disrespect of her teenage daughter - she knows what it is to be one, so shouldn't mock her for having a big appetite whilst growing, studying and starting work. In contrast, Martha as helicopter daughter to her widowed mum is a brilliant and funny role reversal - the pace and timing of the door scene gave us just enough seconds to wonder will-she/won't-she and give us some light-hearted suspense to ease the sadness of the main mystery. Humphrey is bumbling-but-brilliant as always. They've done such a good job of bringing something different to Death In Paradise whilst still having broadly the same appeal and I'm looking forward to the female-lead Return To Paradise as the writer's Marlow Mystery Club starring Samantha Bond was equally excellent.
