DI Jimmy Perez and his team investigate crimes in the Shetland Islands.
Shetland keeps the cozy clue-hunt satisfaction of Death in Paradise, with each case unfolding through careful interviews and small-town secrets. The island setting and the detective’s personal investment make the investigation feel intimate and steady, trading sunlit banter for quieter, more methodical pressure.
Having left Saint Marie to be with Martha, DI Humphrey Goodman starts a new life with her in Devon, bringing his unique brand of chaotic genius to the small, close-knit community.
Beyond Paradise delivers the same light, contained mystery payoff as Death in Paradise, where the fun comes from solving while the team juggles social friction. The Devon village backdrop and the detective’s chaotic, warm approach keep the cases breezy and character-forward, with romance and domestic warmth adding extra comfort.
In New York City, three strangers who live in the same apartment building and are obsessed with solving crimes must work together to solve real murders that have happened in the apartment building. Together, they come up with many ways to solve the cases.
Only Murders in the Building brings Death in Paradise’s whodunit pleasure into a neighborly, joke-laced setting where every episode tightens the suspicion. Amateur sleuthing among mismatched collaborators creates the same clue-gathering momentum, but the danger stays more contained and the humor stays front and center.
