The Biblical case for embracing the uncomfortable

One of the most loved and longstanding BBC dramas is Death In Paradise.

For those who have never watched it, it’s a very light-hearted murder mystery set in Saint Marie (real-life Guadeloupe) in the Caribbean. A stunning backdrop, a loveable cast and the occasional, "I recognise their face from somewhere" guest actor. It’s been a winning formula for 15 series straight.

A fun fact about the show is the statistics would indicate that vacation bookings to the Caribbean spike when the show is airing.
