More than a solid series, indeed taking place there on the archipelago where the ponies of the same name come from. All pretty understated, and that's usually nice. The close coherence of such a relatively small and closed community is regularly discussed, as well as family vicissitudes. Plus of course the necessary murder cases.
Of course you get the necessary leads and sometimes some far-fetched denouements as befits detectives, but on the whole it feels quite believable and genuine, many thanks to the sober main character, excellently played by Douglas Henshall.
3.5*.

With many varying opportunities in the search for perpetrator and motives.
Pretty entertaining series and yet I feel like I'm missing something, a certain empathy or acceptance of characters, including the main character...
Maybe because this 6th season is only the first I see.
