BBG News

Fans have shared their opinions on the BBC’s new murder mystery Death Valley.

On Sunday evenings, the television show features Timothy Spall portraying a former actor, revered like a town hero in a quaint Welsh village after retiring.

Among the ardent supporters, there’s a youthful investigator who chooses to involve him whenever individuals mysteriously expire in seemingly unbelievable manners on a regular basis.

Fans seem to be quite smitten with the latest show, expressing their delight about it on an official BBC Instagram post.

One fan expressed their enjoyment by saying, “I find this incredibly amusing! It does take some time to get accustomed to, but once I did, I had to rewind several times to catch the hilarious parts again. I’m almost done with episode 2 and I can’t get enough of it!

One user exclaimed, “I’ve just marathon-watched the entire series; it’s fantastic, can’t wait for more!” Another praised it by saying, “I found myself utterly captivated – cleverly written and a blast to watch.”

This version maintains the original meaning while using slightly more formal language and rephrasing some elements for clarity and variety.

1. “This comedy is exceptional, but it’s even better if you appreciate the nuances of Welsh culture.”

2. “The humor in this piece resonates more strongly if you’re familiar with the Welsh way of life.”

3. “This comedy is fantastic, and its brilliance shines brighter for those who understand the charm of Welsh people.”

4. “It’s a hilarious production, but it really hits home if you get the subtleties of Welsh humor.”

5. “The comedy is top-notch, and I found it particularly enjoyable due to its insight into Welsh culture.”

Here at Digital Spy, we too found the first two episodes entertaining, as expressed in our review: “What makes Death Valley stand out among its counterparts is its unique tone, interwoven throughout the comedic murder mystery. Unlike Paradise-like shows, part of the humor in Death Valley stems from the fact that sometimes the show serves as a plot device for the very joke it presents.

Instead of the storyline solely driving the humor, there are instances within the show that are inherently funny. For example, imagine a situation where two murders occur: one is fictional and unfolds on-screen, while the other takes place in the village itself.

Death Valley, a series, airs every Sunday on BBC One. You can catch the entire collection right away on BBC iPlayer.

Our debut print magazine from Digital Spy, “British Comedy Legends,” is available for purchase! Grab it at your local newsstands or online for only £3.99.
