Surprised by some of the negative commentary on here. No, it's not realistic in the slightest (why would a British and German cop partner up to solve Spanish crimes on Mallorca?!), but good fun and feel good TV.
Sometimes that's exactly what's needed!

This ain't going to win any BAFTAs but it's fun and relaxing. A bit like 'Death in Paradise'.
What better way to sit down an a cold grey December afternoon? The blue skies and easy going plots represent forty five minutes of pure escapism. You'll be disappointed if you're expecting anything gritty or challenging, it isn't. It fits perfectly into the afternoon category, joining Father Brown and Shakespeare and Hathaway, and whilst it doesn't quite reach the standard of the crime fighting clergyman it's still a very good watch.
The two leads are very likeable, good fun, I thought they worked very well together. I'm glad to see a second series is planned for 2020, these afternoon dramas are easy to watch (on catch-up.)
Sour Grapes and Night of the Stag are the best of the episodes. My favourite new show of 2019, they improve with every episode.

The premise is a British and a German detectives are assigned to work under the National Police in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. The locations are all over the island of Mallorca in the Mediterranean, where everywhere you look it's a picture postcard. It's a light police procedural and the two leads Elyn Rhys and Julian Loomans have good chemistry. It's setting in Spain adds to the variety and quirkiness of some of the episodes. It originally aired in 2019 with 10 episodes and a second season appeared in 2021. Hope it stays around for more seasons.
It takes a few episodes to find it feet, but it gets there by the end.
The two main characters have great chemistry, and you can watch them grow towards each other as the show progress, but don't let it happen too quickly..
Series 2 is already in the can, i think? Let's hope the plots are are bit more thought out, and the script could be sharper.. This show should be prime time, no idea why it's on in the afternoon? ..
Ps the scenery just makes me want to drop everything and go explore the island right now.
