BBC viewers hooked on detective drama just like | UK News

Midsomer illegal killings followers looking for their next viewing obsession need search no additional.

BBC audiences have been raving about ‘one of the best’ detective dramas, describing it as a ‘real gem hidden in the daytime schedules’.

Shakespeare and Hathaway: Private Investigators initially premiered in 2018 and is at present in its sixth collection. It options EastEnders legend Jo Joyner as Luella Shakespeare and Waterloo Road star Mark Benton as Frank Hathaway.

A synopsis for the programme states: “After the death of her fiance, Luella Shakespeare joins Frank Hathaway, a private detective, to help him solve some bizarre cases in Stratford-upon-Avon.”

The drama has proved enormously standard with viewers who have drawn comparisons to Death in Paradise, Beyond Paradise and Midsomer illegal killings.

One viewer commented: “I don’t know what this show is doing in the day time section, I would have missed it, had it not for the fact that I logged into iPlayer. It reminded me of ‘Death in Paradise’ but set in Warwickshire. They have filmed in really scenic locations, and I love the cast.

“The two leads have superb on screen chemistry and their aspect kick, the “RADA Grad” is fairly humorous. I’ve watched six episodes so far and I am unable to wait to end it.

“I hope BBC renews it because it is pretty cheerful and feel good show. I am a little tired of gritty and dark dramas so this is pretty much right up my stream!”

One viewer wrote: “Just binge watched the first and second series of this show on demand! I can’t believe I’d never heard of it or even seen it advertised.. I absolutely loved it! Light hearted, clever writing, witty loveable characters, I could go on and on..”

A separate viewer commented: “I have watched both seasons of this sweet, light hearted and funny show. I think it should be on in the evenings, it’s very much like Death in Paradise except set in Stratford Upon Avon.

“Hope it is renewed for season! It’s a witty candy show and some of us like light-hearted programmes!”

Another enthusiast posted: “This show is far better than I hoped. I used to be trying for one thing on Britbox once I had watched the last episode of Death in Paradise and determined to give this a attempt. What a full gem.”

While yet another viewer contributed: “If you might be a fan of beautiful British homicide mysteries in the vein of Midsommer illegal killings you may be hooked! Fun characters, participating comedic components and very fascinating plot twists make this a winner! ! LOVE IT! ! !”.
