A Death in Paradise icon is working on this “wonderful” series.
Death in Paradise fans shouldn’t miss this “beautiful” series that’s just come back for another run.
Death in Paradise is currently on its customary break from BBC One, with devotees keen to discover an alternative to tide them over until the gentle crime drama’s comeback.
In the meantime, audiences might consider the reality counterpart to Death in Paradise, the documentary series Policing Paradise, which returned for its second series today, Monday, 8 June.
The programme chronicles the day-to-day work of the Bermuda Police Service, featuring both local and British constables as they patrol the tropical archipelago, juggling law enforcement responsibilities with safeguarding thousands of holidaymakers.
What adds extra appeal to Policing Paradise for Death in Paradise fanatics is the involvement of two beloved actors from the island drama.
The initial series of Policing Paradise, released in March 2025, featured Officer Ruby Patterson actress Shyko Amos providing the voiceover.
However, this fresh second series sees the Commissioner himself, actor Don Warrington, assuming the narration role.
Policing Paradise series two broadcasts Monday through Thursday at 2pm on BBC One, with the opening quartet of episodes already available on BBC iPlayer.
The documentary’s first series can currently be streamed, with the remainder of the second series anticipated to become available subsequently.
Beyond the routine tasks of tackling minor offences and managing summer festivals, Policing Paradise also showcases various specialist divisions, including marine patrols, dog handlers and drug-enforcement officers.
Applauding the inaugural series before its comeback on IMdb, one viewer commented: “This show has it all; insightful access to the full range of Bermuda police duties from dog handling to diving, beautifully photographed with great skill, and narrated with tact, wit and affection by Shyko Amos (Ruby, Commissioner Pattersons’ niece from Death In Paradise).
“This show is an informative documentary with the bonus of that lovely camerawork with Shykos’ voice-over work deftly remaining appropriate and informed across the wide-ranging situations. More of this please!”
Another viewer agreed: “Great to see all the places we love and very interesting to see how Bermuda is policed.
“Hoping there will be another series to get to know a bit more about it and see more on wonderful Bermuda. Island paradise in the Atlantic.”
Policing Paradise is available to stream on BBC iPlayer
