Kris Marshall, star of the hit show Beyond Paradise, recently opened up about his feelings towards the show's critics. Despite being known for his roles in popular films and TV shows such as My Family and Love Actually, the 50-year-old actor revealed that he is no longer bothered by negative reviews.
In 2014, Kris took on the role of DI Humphrey Goodman in Death in Paradise, a popular crime drama set on the fictional Caribbean island of Saint Marie. He reprised the role last year in the spin-off series Beyond Paradise. While some of his previous projects may have received less-than-glowing feedback, Kris found comfort in the overwhelming success of Beyond Paradise when it first aired a year ago. The show was watched by nearly nine million people in its first 30 days, making it the BBC's biggest new drama of the year.
Kris shared that while he always hoped for positive reviews from critics, the response of the viewers is what truly matters to him. He believes that creating a show that appeals to a wide audience and can be enjoyed by the whole family is a difficult task, and the fact that Beyond Paradise achieved this is something to be celebrated.
Speaking to Radio Times, Kris expressed his frustration with the critics who have called the show "lazy TV" and criticized his character's lines for not being funny enough. He believes that the show's ability to bring people together and entertain them should be praised.
Despite the negative reviews, Beyond Paradise has been a hit with viewers and has been selected for a second season. The show follows DI Goodman and his fiancée Martha as they move to her hometown of Shipton Abbott, near the Devon coast. Kris's character quickly makes an impression on the local police force with his unique approach to solving crimes.
The highly-anticipated second season of Beyond Paradise will return to the BBC on March 22. Fans are eagerly awaiting the new episodes, especially after the recent news of a crossover with Death in Paradise for the finale. Kris's departure from the show in 2017 left fans wondering about his character's fate, and now they will finally get some answers.
