![]() | Death in Paradise (TV series) was nominated as a Media and drama good article, but it did not meet the good article criteria at the time (October 18, 2013). There are suggestions on the review page for improving the article. If you can improve it, please do; it may then be renominated. |
![]() | This article is rated C-class on Wikipedia's
content assessment scale. It is of interest to the following WikiProjects: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

![]() | This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus. |
The episodes can be seen as the equivalent of 'chess problems' and some aspects are thus simplified.
However the last three stories (4 episodes) all have serious plot holes (eg an islet with a house, with no associated boats to reach the mainland and no staff to look after the building).
Noting the issue - a more detailed analysis would belong on the relevant fandom site(s). 82.44.143.26 ( talk) 17:53, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
And the 6 February 2020 episode was more hole than plot (someone dies, fully clothed, in a bath with a hairdryer in it, and no note and no reason to kill themselves 'Oh yes, it is suicide' 'and various other problems besides) 82.44.143.26 ( talk) 19:01, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
Death in Paradise is broadcast in over 100 countries around the world. In my opinion, it doesn't make sense to mention particular TV stations in particular U.S. counties. To mention BBC and France 2 as the original broadcaster should be sufficient. -- Gwadainfo ( talk) 22:02, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
This show seems like the clearest possible example of “white savior”......
Why isn’t this mentioned in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Subs99 ( talk • contribs) 04:36, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
thank you for bringing this up, it should be in the main article not just talk — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.245.17.105 ( talk) 16:16, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
Can anybody please tell to me the reason for the different number plates on the same police vehicle? 110.20.165.215 ( talk) 06:29, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
The Voodoo religion is part of the programme and this is mentioned in the Sainte Marie section of the article. The word Voodoo is linked to the Wikipedia article Voodoo (disambiguation). Normally we do not link to disambiguation pages but in this case the 'Voodoo' in the programme is not fully defined - it's just generic Voodoo. Should we leave it alone, remove the link or change it to African diaspora religions(As Voodoo)? Advice please. OrewaTel ( talk) 06:53, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
I do not believe that this reversal was constructive. I would just lite to remove the "sir" part of the quote which is rather silly (it is in no way abnormal for these people to use that term in their usual business language regardless of race) and that silliness takes the edge off the excellent critique of the obvious racism in the program. Unless anyone can come up with a good reason to leave the distracting "sir" stuff in, I will be removing it again. -- SergeWoodzing ( talk) 11:42, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
It is really extremely regrettable that nothing can (yet) be found on Wikipedia about Shyko Amos, Tobi Bakare, Legastelois-Bidé and Shantol Jackson. Molekuelorbital ( talk) 13:47, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
