Why Death in Paradise’s fresh new focus is the key to the BBC crime drama’s success

Solomon is the opposite of the typical lead detective, and this difference creates a wonderfully funny tension. It leads to scenes like Mervin getting thrown into a pool – fully dressed! – and his clumsy brothers ending up covered in hot sauce. This over-the-top humor fits the murder mystery series perfectly, adding a lot of exciting, physical comedy. However, their dynamic goes deeper than just silly antics; there’s a real connection there.
