The Mallorca Files (2019– )
2/10
Contrived, hollow and rushed.
10 October 2021
The first five minutes of S1E1 was promising. The next ten minutes was boring. The next forty-five minutes was deleted.

My easy to please partner, who enjoys day-time soaps, was quick to turn her nose up at it. Her tastes in television are unsophisticated but even she saw right through the cardboard characters, the plot holes, the over-blown characters, the plodding dialogue, the unlikable characters, the wretched writing.

Seriously, was this a first draft from a high school drama club project?

Crime writing is hard. Comedy writing is harder. Crime comedy writing require consummate professionals, not underfed interns. It saddens me to know that good money and talent is being flushed for excrement like this.
