You'll have no trouble seeing where Death in Paradise is going, as it's not exactly taxing. But it is rather winning in a quiet way, and Robert Thorogood's script is affable.

I never believed in Poole, so I never cared. He wasn't helped by the script, which required him to spout lazy plot exposition while also complaining dully about the heat and the inefficiency of the locals.

It was an enjoyable opener, with enough crispness and wit in the writing and storytelling, but could DI Poole be loved for his uptight paperclip-counting in the way Columbo was for crumpled raincoats or Morse his misanthropy? That seems less plausible.

Despite some engaging performances, notably Miller and Lenora Crichlow as an ambitious young officer, Death In Paradise is a bit of a rum cocktail.
