My Take
Kris Marshall is woven into a very specific kind of British comfort viewing. Most of the world knows him as Colin, the lovable optimist who flies to America to find romance in Love Actually, but in Britain he is equally Nick from My Family and, for a long run, the genial detective Humphrey in Death in Paradise, which he later revived in Beyond Paradise. There is a warmth and slight goofiness to him that makes him perfect for the cozy mystery, sunshine-and-murder format. He is not chasing prestige roles, and honestly I respect that; he knows exactly the kind of easy charm he delivers, and he delivers it reliably.
