	Media	Author	Review
		The New York Times	"[It] is as irresistible as it is simple (...) The show’s mix of cozy murder mystery, will-they/won’t-they romance and beachy visuals remains comfortingly consistent."
		Jasper Rees Telegraph	"Crime, comedy, sun, surf – a little bit of everything adds up to a whole lot of not much (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Michael Hogan The Guardian	"Episodes are so formulaic, it's almost funny (...) [It] gets a decent calibre of guest star but it's tempting to think that's less to do with the quality of the script than the show's setting."
		Paul Simpson Digital Spy	"It's like wrapping a sunny blanket around you in Januar (...) And there's no question about it, it's the BBC's one-hour weekly temporary antidote for SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder)"
