Episode 1: Episode 1

Summary

The commissioner's return to the department is disrupted by a suspicious incident at Government House, in which a man has fallen from the roof to his death. It looks like a suicide, but DI Mervin Wilson suspects foul play. No one was on the roof with the victim when he fell and he'd locked the roof door behind him. Away from the investigation, Mervin is anxious to finally meet his half-brother Solomon, the other son of the mother he never knew. Don Gilet and Don Warrington star

Review

David Brown

Glowers of disdain rather than open grins are usually the stock-in-trade of Selwyn Patterson (Don Warrington), but for once, Saint Marie’s senior police officer is smiling. Why? Well, he’s home, of course, and back in his old job. But don’t expect the good mood to last.

First, there’s a new member of the team in the form of Sergeant Mattie Fletcher (Catherine Garton), who exhibits a reckless streak that meets with the Commissioner’s disapproval. And then, we have his office space at Government House being encroached upon by the shady Business and Tourism board, a consultant from which is soon found sprawled on a car roof after a fall (or was it a push?) from a great height. The investigation that follows raises some credibility issues — for instance, DI Mervin Wilson (Don Gilet) uses a thumbprint from the corpse to unlock a phone, which, due to the lack of electrical impulses in a body after death, wouldn’t ordinarily be feasible.

Yet despite logic sometimes taking a back seat, this is a show that still works for those willing to trade a degree of realism for sheer pleasure.
