grandmabrat The first problem is I do not understand their Coroner system and they don't explain it. I like learning from British shows. The second one is that this is only 2 seasons! I wanted a couple more. The scenery is lovely and more current than some British shows. The characters are humorous and subtle at the same time. I like the fact that the violence is a lot less than in other shows and it is more intellectual, as if you were solving the murder/death yourself. I'd live in that village any day.

nevandsue Great to see the delectable Miss G. with her own show. Only seen the first 4 so far but make no mistake, she IS the show! Very gifted actress with a natural relaxed approach to her work, very believable as Jane. Some strange comments in a couple of the reviews here about her appearance. I see no reason, for instance, why a coroner should not be a glamorous woman. Bit of a personal comment made about the actress's hairdo? In my opinion she looks great from head to toe - to each his own I suppose. She had me with Mel Silver and I am chuffed for her that this series has gone to a second season. The series, obviously, is set at the seaside - might this mean that one day Jane will spend an afternoon at the beach in her bikini? One can hope!

dollybabies The Coroner with Clair Goose, some terrible over acting, particularly by "Jane's" mother, she is loud, her facial expressions are totally over the top. Clair Goose is good as usual, except for her hair, who cut this? its a total mess, I can recommend a good hairdresser if you are ever in the Birmingham area, the story lines are easy watching and the scenery is spectacular, but once again, terrible acting by some cast members, the latest episode screened on Friday 27/11/15 over the top acting again by The Coroner's mother and the sex innuendo is tedious, the murderess, the salsa dancers daughter, over acting once again, where do they get these people? and, wouldn't the authorities be concerned that sensitive files belonging to the Coroner are left lying about in the back room office of the pub???, a lot of irritating things going on in this series, it cannot get any worse, heres hoping it will get better!

s3276169 The Coroner is one of those lightweight but entertaining mystery/crime dramas the UK excels at. Reminiscent of series such as Midsomer Murders, this mystery/crime drama taps into the notion of "polite crime", made famous by authors such as Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle.Death is done "nicely" with socially respectable people going about their "who dunnit" business of solving crime in a picturesque seaside town. The main lead is a latter day Sherlock Holmes, a coroner who, with the help of her local police counterpart (with whom she shares an almost romantic connection) uncover the causes of deaths bought to her attention. As is almost always the case with UK series of this kind, the acting is right on the mark. The characters are convincing, if a little clichéd, and carry their respective roles well. I have enjoyed The Coroner so far and plan to keep on watching. Seven out of ten from me.
