The Mallorca Files

2019 · 3 seasons

A sunlit, easy-going detective show with playful banter and picturesque island scenery, solving gentle mysteries without much grit.

Created by: Dan Sefton
Genres: Crime, Drama
Starring: Elen Rhys, Julian Looman, María Fernández Ache

Overview: Amongst the vibrant international community of the eponymous Spanish island, a British and a German detective with very different approaches to policing have a clash of personalities. Despite - or perhaps because of - their very different approaches, the sleuths form a perfect complementary partnership as they seek to solve a new crime on the island each week.
