Death in Paradise

If the bleakness of a show like Broadchurch isn't for you, give this lighthearted BBC procedural a go instead. Set on the fictional Caribbean island of Saint Marie, it follows a fish-out-of-water British detective as he solves the seemingly endless number of confusing murders that take place, assisted by a handful of local police. Now onto its fifth season, Death in Paradise is escapism at its best, right down to the unintentionally hilarious cold open to each episode, where the dramatic discovery of a dead body is immediately followed by the jarringly upbeat reggae tones of the show's opening theme.

Watch it on Netflix now.
