New episode out now! Take a break from the drafty English manors and the drizzly Pacific Northwest and head on down to the sunny, breezy island of Saint-Marie. We watched season one, episode five of Death in Paradise, “Spot the Difference,” and got caught in a twisty plot—that half of us figured out twenty minutes in. We discuss the lackadaisical nature of island law enforcement (who gives suspects alcohol?), how we would live on a murder island with exorbitantly high crime rates if rent was free, the weirdly charming analog police work, and how we don’t understand how patents work. Katy is traumatized by the destruction of dishware, Carrie does not believe in numbering episodes, Maddy is really into chickens, and Mack thought there would be more white dudes with cornrows. We also talk about how all Hollywood teenagers are like twenty-five, how everyone is too nice to DI Poole (or DI Cool if you’re Maddy) when he’s just grumpy all the time, if we would subscribe to “Murder Monthly,” and come up with our Family Motto: “Like The Von Trapps But Weird.” Listen for our Anakin Skywalker impressions and more talk about bathroom facilities than you would think! Originally recorded January 2018.
TW: Murder, stabbing, bathroom humor
