I know we tune in each week to watch the crew solve yet another murder in a small island community, and that there is something inherently mawkish in enjoying this as entertainment if it was the real world and this many murders were happening it would be terrifying, but we're not really tuning in for the murder, we're tuning in for the cast and the mind gymnastics they perform to solve the mystery and the small talk and comradery they make on the journey.
We quickly grow to like the characters, even though they're fictional, but then to kill the central on off is no small thing, especially because this is not game of thrones. It's a small british/french comedy thriller.
Add to that the complete lack of impact it had on the other characters, it was insulting to humanity, and to the audience and the respect for us as much as it was for DS Camille Bordey, Officer Dwayne Myers, and Sergeant Fidel Best and their characters.
We've been enjoying the show (not for the murders but for the characters) and we hated what they did to DI Poole, and to us.
Yes I know it's fiction, but we're not.
