Return to Paradise: Season 1 coming to Britbox



At last the U.S. is getting Return to Paradise, another Death in Paradise spin-off. We've all been asking for it,  and it will finally air here on September 2 on Britbox with 6 episodes in the season. I haven't seen it yet, but I'm really looking forward to this British/Australian production. I'll post my opinion after watching a few episodes. Oh...there will be 6 episodes. Season 2 is already filming.

Return to Paradise is set in a seaside town in Australia. In the series, Detective Inspector Mackenzie Clarke (Anna Samson) reluctantly returns to her Australian home town (trope) after leaving London under a cloud of suspicion (trope #2). And trope #3: Anna is socially awkward. O.k. no big surprise on these fronts, but I watch a lot of mystery series, so I'm not surprised -- or put-off. I love Death in Paradise, so I think I'll enjoy this!

So many great mystery shows coming in September! Exciting times!

I have britt box on prime video.The first two episodes are available, but not the rest.

I also have Britbox on Prime, and yesterday all episodes appeared. Odd.

So what I've figured out is that Prime wants to charge you to see all the episodes at the same time. Episodes are dropped once a week if you have a Britbox subscription. I feel this is deceptive. sorry

We are up to episode five but five and six aren’t available unless you buy them we watched all four yesterday and then it stopped.

Sadly, only one a week, unless you pay. We, took, have seen the first four and are waiting. I really hate that they have the episodes and are asking you to pay if you want all at once..
