P. M.

Cassandre begins with promise — strong performances, engaging characters, and interesting storylines. But as it goes on, the lack of police procedure becomes frustrating. Cassandre investigates her own ex-husband, and the fact the prosecutor lets her is unrealistic. The police work often feels like fantasy — officers confronting criminals without backup or following proper protocols. While the emotional threads and setting are appealing, the series loses credibility as it bends logic and professionalism for the sake of drama.

The show has some interesting episodes when there’s nothing else on, quick guilty pleasure with no brains involved. The one thing that keeps bugging me is the forensic staff. She is constantly speaking with sexual innuendos. No work environment should allow this under any circumstances. It diminishes the character and for years they have all dismissed it too as if nothing is wrong. She is smart and interesting without her having to do that. It is cringy any time she is on.

Enough about men being idiots, useless, racist, deranged, wife beaters in every episode. Of course the PI is the smarter person in the room, who finds the bad guy, (always a men). Please create good stories, not this cliched crazy dumb shows. How they expect us to watch this.

I was very disappointed with the Marlow Murder Mysteries. Mystery shows used to have stronger stories, and this series lacks depth. The portrayal of characters is unbalanced: all the female characters come across as kind, strong, and smart, while the male characters appear weak, racist, or incompetent. I appreciate seeing more women in lead roles, but not at the cost of quality storytelling and nuanced character development. The lack of believable deductive reasoning is frustrating; the protagonists’ actions don’t align with what you’d expect from an intriguing mystery. The main character feels more like a meddler than a sleuth and isn’t particularly likable, yet is somehow always portrayed as smarter than the detectives. I’d love to see future efforts focused on creating compelling, engaging mysteries with realistic, well-rounded characters and plots that hold up to classic standards. Where is Miss Marpple when you need her?

I could not finish the first episode. The characters are one dimensional, too overacted too. The female character is annoying, as well as the boss. The story lacks depth and dialogue is brutally cliched. This is why writers want to get paid more???? Want to take themselves too seriously but the show doesn’t have the depth. We need better stories. I don’t recommend.

What is this woke trash. Elon musk like villains…inept investigators letting bad guys go. Why is it that only these investigators are working alone or only with a partner. Never with back up of any kind, only when convenient for the story. Van der valk is a poser and not very smart. Why can we get better writing and stories.

These two are the most inept policemen in Mallorca. I know it’s only a show, but letting criminals go and endless chases that are crazy stupid. Yes, I watched all the episodes😭. It tries to be funny, lands flat. Sometimes they are undercover and look like caricatures or crazy stereotypes. No chemestry between the charchters, until a cute detective from Madrid showed up and started to get interesting until it wasn’t. Bad all around.

I really liked the first season. As it progresses the pace and episodes get slower. I am bored with the latest episodes. even the characters looked bored. At least give me some exciting dialogue that can keep me watching. Skip series 4. I used to look forward to the Mystery series on PBS, now it’s just a hit and miss. Bring back the English detectives with more intense stories and gripping dialogue. Scarlet is annoying, know it all, and it is unrealistic the way she behaves for the era. The Duke is just “there” the story does not give him much to do. I am bored, bored, bored.

This is a horrible follow-up to the original series. All the characters are one note, no chemistry between any of them. Cliche after cliche gets tiresome, not to mention the way the stories are written, all the man are bumbling idiots and the women have to save them or rescue them at every turn, because they are incapable of anything productive, really! Perigreen is such a Mary Sue, writers need to stop this plots. Why can we have relatable characters that represent the complexities of human behavior, instead of pandering to obnoxious plots, laughable behavior, and terrible acting. I liked the original show much better, and the acting was superb too.
