Season 12 disappoints me. In my opinion there is absolutely no chemistry between the actors/characters. It feels like parallel play. The strength of this show it the interaction between the characters. The connection you feel. The crimes are looney. The formulaic writing is expected, that's what Death in Paradise is about. A comfortable, fun formula. But the main characters and their connection to one another is primary! It's the reason we watch. This season lacks any kind of real relationship between the lead characters. They look bored and constrained. They don't seem to like another. Even lovely Catherine can't get them to connect.

Excellent production elements, good acting, interesting stories.. But I am becoming bored with the interactions and dialogue between Scarlett and the Duke: "No you can't " " Yes I will". The essence of the premise is so overdone..
