Detective Humphrey Goodman, played by Kris Marshall, left the sunny shores of St. Marie last year to return to live in his native England with his fiancée Martha Lloyd (Sally Breton). The "Death in Paradise" spinoff returns this Friday for a new series of crime-fighting on the Devonshire coast.

"Beyond Paradise" season one climaxed with an emotional finale in which Humphrey and Martha finally confided in each other about the difficulties of procreating and Humphrey returned to his old home in the Caribbean to take time to sort out his feelings. The couple's journey to parenthood is far from over, and there are sure to be more tears to come, but for now, they seem perfectly content with each other, their home boat, and their duck, Selwyn.

It was not only the bolder storytelling that set "Beyond Paradise" apart from its parent series. It focused less on formulaic Agatha Christie-style murder mysteries and instead featured a variety of crimes, including an assault allegedly committed by a 17th century witch, a spate of arson cases inspired by nursery rhymes, a family that disappeared mid-breakfast, and extraterrestrial crop circles.

"Beyond Paradise" Season 2 is more of the same, with a slightly too-realistic murder mystery party, a crime prognosticator, and a vanishing fisherman. And before it's all over, wedding bells may ring. The usual criminal investigation team returns, including Zahra Ahmadi, Dylan Llewellyn, and Felicity Montagu, and Barbara Flynn also returns as Martha's mother Anne.
