Trivia
Ariadne Oliver is a fictional mystery writer created by writer Agatha Christie. Mrs Oliver, who writes stories about Sven Hjerson, appears in the short story collection Parker Pyne Investigates, six novels featuring Hercule Poirot, plus the standalone novel The Pale Horse. Mrs Oliver's relationship to her fictional detective reflects that of Christie to Poirot, in that Hjerson is very popular but the writer seems to grow weary of him. From Christie's novels not much is known of Hjerson, except that he is a Finn and a vegetarian and the titles of some of his cases.

I watched for the characters, not the plots.

I watched this via Channel 4 in the UK in 2022, and have had a look at the current reviews, which seem to have been placed by 1) people with some vested interest in the show who give it vapid rave reviews, and 2) people who for some reason have an almost pathological hatred for the show. It's certainly not a 10-star blockbuster, but nor is it a 1-star mega-turkey. To be sure, the writers have absolutely no clue how to actually construct a bona fide mystery plot, and apparently no interest in doing so; their aim is to create quirky characters and spin a certain light, escapist mood, and there they succeed. So, yes, most of the crime plots make no sense, and the "solutions" don't hold water...but...the show is so damned entertaining! I'm going to give it a generous 7 stars, and yes, I would watch a second season.
