Death Valley

As that was filmed near you Pippa000, you live in a gorgeous part of the world. Have never been to Wales, yet, but would like to see some of those settings.

Found it a bit silly in places but light and entertaining and just what I needed.

It is stunningly beautiful, sea, forests and mountains, what else could you wish for, maybe a bit of sun today

I thought the first episode started off dreadfully. Made worse by the policewoman (a DS for goodness sake, giving real DS's a very bad image).
Got 'slightly' better as it continued so I've watched the 2nd episode on IPlayer. It was 'ok'. Made better with the DS's mum played by Gavin & Stacey mum, Gwen. (Melanie ?)

It's no Ludwig that's for sure.

Lovely scenery though

I usually like anything Timothy Spall is on and had high hopes, but I couldn't bear that female detective who irritated so much that had to turn it off after 10 minutes. I find that these days any programme advertised as "comedy' has made me very cautious as too often I just don't find them funny.

Loved it. I giggled more watching this than I have watching any show for a while. It's not meant to be a serious crime show. A bit of light humour on a Sunday evening.

We weren’t impressed. Watched for 15 minutes to give it a chance but switched over. However I agree with others that scenery in Wales is stunning so if it encourages tourists to visit and spend that could be good for the area.

It’s brilliant it’s a P take of comedy. Timothy Spall is excellent so are the others.the ‘Gavin&Stacy’ couple added to the humour in next episode. Keep watching. It’s a must it’s nota P take of beautiful Wales not the lovely Welsh people it’s about IMHO about how people think of themselves and others but are afraid to admit. Usually it’s said/hidden in mirth gossip.
I could have binge watched it all but want to enjoy in bytes. It does have a whole done it the same running through and that’s showing how logic reasoning and intuition solves the cases. Possibly not everyone’s cup of tea but it’s mine with biscuits added. 👍

Was looking forward to this but what a disappointment! I thought with Timothy Spall in it would be good but I couldn't stand more than about 15 mins and turned it off, won't be watching any more. It was a joke, too silly to bear, dreadful acting and I found it difficult to understand what the Welsh police woman was saying at times. A waste of time.

It could be worse; there is less than an hour of it and it doesn't send you to bed with nightmares like the gruesome, bloody who-dun-its that have been so fashionable. They are trying too hard to be funny, with ridiculous characterisations all round Just about watchable but I will be glad to see the end. Too old for this kind of Speed.

Copy of McDonald & Dodds?
Not sure it would work without Timothy Spall's excellent sarcasm, but am going to watch again to see if it develops.

Easy watching for late night

I tried watching tonight's episode but there's definitely something missing. It just doesn't gel. My son watched a bit with me and said "It looks as if it ought to be good, but,,,,,,,,,"

I thought last night’s episode was better than the first, more believable (slightly).

The female detective’s mother took over being the more annoying character.

It’s still pretty rubbishy though, makes the Welsh police force look like idiots.

A bit too much like ‘Midsomer Murders’ for me. (I’ve never been able to stay awake long enough to watch a whole episode.) I found it rather silly but DH already hooked! I’m sure it will appeal to a fair number of fans as it stars Timothy Spall. I didn’t fall asleep but have established it’s not for me.

I think it's a delightful cosy murder story.
You don't need to think much about it, it's just charming.

This week was far better than last.
I shall watch again to see how it goes.

I think it makes Midsomer Murders look like Shakespeare.

merlotgran 🤣🤣🤣

It was slightly more bearable this week. I’ll keep watching.

Just watching episode two after nodding off during episode one. Think it’s awful. Trying too hard to be funny but not succeeding.Keep comparing it to The Change on Ch4 which is wonderful but seems to have been totally ignored.

Merlotgran you made me laugh! Entirely agree. Some seem to like it but found it too preposterous, not funny, unbelievable and unappealing characters. Snooze fest would be putting it kindly. Wonder why Spall agreed to this pile!

I agree it very silly but so much better than those hundreds of dreadful “reality” programmes, and something lightweight on a Sunday.

Agree with the Silly comments…made me doze off a bit…but then I’m known for loving the dark twisty stuff..😀

Fell asleep during Sunday’s episode, woke up at the end, so saw ‘who dunnit’.

Do I care enough to go back and re-watch the missing bits?

tanith

I turned it over 10 mins in, just a bit silly.

I watched a bit of it as I usually love anything Timothy Spall is in but I found it wasn’t my cup of tea at all.

It's not getting any better is it ? Even if the last episode was filmed in my town.
