creekdogs I TOTALLY agree with another poster on here ('Trite and typical') - he wrote EVERYTHING I feel about this show! I think getting rid of the three characters he suggested (the mother and her boyfriend, daughter) would have vastly improved this series. The over the hill sex kitten crap was WAY over the top (the mother of the Coroner)and totally ruined the show for me. One episode found Jane looking for a house of her own - and it was gorgeous! So what does she do? She decides to continue LIVING WITH HER MOTHER. Utter nonsense . . they should have had her buy the house and get more involved with her ex. The scenery is just beautiful however.

Francine Veillette Hi, I love this show, just discovered it yesterday. It's so good can't wait to next Saturday. I just love this little coastal town. And last but not the least...he's got gorgeous blue eyes that Davey!! Don't you think so ladies.... Miss Goose, I've read her IMDb review, has a long career as an actress and so I m glad she now has her own show....congrats to everyone working or acting to make this show the marvel it seems to be.

jocousins76 It's interesting to read other reviews, the more negative one's I would take with a pinch of salt. Firstly Claire Goose was, as in all of the many shows she has starred in, Fantastic. Yes granted she didn't have the gritty scenes which she can play with passion but as an afternoon show the stories need to be more lightweight. The story lines were nice & compact I especially liked the verdict ending. The "love story" is building between the leads, perhaps a little rushed but again as it's a 45 minute afternoon show so it's difficult to get that intensity but it is likely that will be improved. The main supporting cast brought humour & added dynamic. The individual episode cast could be improved for Series 2 their inexperience did show compared to the recurring cast experience. The scenery & filming location was wonderful. I look forward to Series 2 but make sure you advertise if it wasn't for Sky Plus I'd have missed it.

ianlouisiana ..and the standard BBC "country" accent,the use of which here is even more widespread than in the infinitely superior "Doc Martin". Oh,and overacting,with the coroner's mum and her appalling pub landlord fellah who rolls around the set gurning as if he is auditioning for the part of Long John Silver in a panto version of "Treasure Island",setting the pace.. How wise Miss C.Goose was to not attempt the West Country vernacular. Three generations of women in the coroner's family are present so far,without a male member in sight(oops!) which is a pun aimed at the same level of humour on show so far. A gay undertaker in episode two,had he turned it down a bit,might have been played by Dick Emery 40 years ago. In place of a plot we have a tired old piece of hackwork involving the coroner and a detective who used to be her lover and who has a penchant for winking at inopportune moments that is rather annoying.Mr M.Bardock,last seen burning to death in "Casualty" - I name and shame you! Miss Goose looks extremely elegant when she is all coronered up,but the enigmatic qualities her face is capable of portraying are put on the back - burner for the duration. The coroner's officer,who,back in the day, used to be a PC, is a surfing dude who looks as if he has washed up on the wrong side of the Atlantic. Oh,and he is averse to dead bodies,not perhaps the best career choice then. Guest stars abound,mostly from other soaps,do their familiar thing take the money and run. But......for all that,there is something endearing about "The Coroner" perhaps the Herculean task Miss Goose has taken on to lift it above the primordial soup of afternoon soaps that makes it passable afternoon viewing while your I -pad charges up. It doesn't aim very high,bless it,and it just about reaches it's target of refugees from Freeview who are fed up with adverts for ambulance chasers and PPI recovery.
