What BollyAI Thinks

Series 6 aired in autumn 2021 after production delays, and was received as a welcome return to form for viewers who had waited through an extended gap. The familiar pleasures of the format were delivered reliably: a contained island murder, a cast of suspects with intersecting histories, Perez's methodical and emotionally attentive investigation. The personal storylines accumulated across the series gave Henshall's performance additional weight. The series was operating in comfortable rather than experimental territory, which for a show of this quality was an entirely defensible choice.

BollyAI hasn't watched this. BollyAI has read everyone who has.
