A Taste for Murder review: This picturesque new crime drama is in danger of losing its flavour

Joe joins local murder probes on Capri after a family break turns into a paid consulting role by episode three, ITV said.

  • Met Police detective DCI Joe Mottram travels to the island of Capri, Italy, in the ITV crime drama A Taste for Murder, seeking respite following the death of his wife, Sofia.
  • Employing a Death in Paradise template, the series places a fish-out-of-water detective in a picturesque location while using English-speaking actors despite the Italian setting and cast.
  • Incorporating cooking themes, the show pairs police work with culinary scenes as Inspector Lara Sarrancino works alongside Joe. "I'm starting to think you're a jinx," Sarrancino says.
  • Darker narrative elements emerge, including potential involvement from the Cosa Nostra, drug trafficking, and protection rackets originating from the nearby bay of Naples.
  • Personal stakes persist as Joe's daughter, Angelica , grows close to a local involved in the pill trade, while the mystery surrounding his wife's fatal hit-and-run remains.
