Chemistry of Death (2023– )
4/10
As far as British Crime series go, this thing is a dud.
5 February 2023
A convoluted, inept mixture of about 10% intrigue, and 90% cheesy manipulation. Characters fall into 3 categories: obnoxious, dim-witted or just plain dull. Poor writing sinks the series at every turn. Plot twists consist of nothing more than non-sensical contrivances.

The basic concept is good, about a forensic pathologist trying to establish a new life in a quaint English village. Said village, unfortunately, soon turns into murder central. While naive and very slow reacting townsfolk traipse about doing their daily business. Worst, or at least funniest, sequence is when one of the suspects tries to escape the police by closing the door in their face, going into his backyard, then WALKING through neighbouring backyards and randomly opening gates and doors to see where it might lead him. Always back to the waiting arms of the police as is glaringly predictable. Just too silly to take with any seriousness, or interest. Will not continue watching this as it is just too third-rate.
