At the time of writing this, The Two Deaths of Hercule Flambeau sits at the top of the rankings, as the best episode to date of the show. It is very good, but not deserving of sitting at the top of the pile, that accolade surely belongs to the face of the enemy. I love it when John Light makes his annual appearance as Flambeau, as always he's tremendous, he always elevates an episode. He is joined by the much missed star from Death in Paradise Sara Martins, who is just fabulous, a mega talented actress, who adds a huge deal of glamour. She is fantastic in this, and combines well with John Light, the pair share some great scenes.
The acting is spot on, the production values, costumes etc, are great, the sets are particularly good. I knocked a few points off for the story itself, it was too similar to the Mystery of the Rosary, another Flambeau story, with a similar plot.
It's good, very good, but there are definitely better episodes. I already cannot wait for Series 7.
8/10
