Longworth, the role of the judge "could almost have been created for Allam", said Sean O'Grady in The Independent.
Adapted from the Verlaque and Bonnet novels by Canadian author M.L. Longworth, the role of the judge "could almost have been created for Allam", said Sean O'Grady in The Independent.  He makes this great drama "sublime". With three two-hour episodes, "Murder in Provence" is "chic, sun-dappled" and set in France, yet it is the "most English drama on TV", said Anita Singh in The Telegraph. The "beautiful backdrops" of Aix-en-Provence are "more scintillating than the pedestrian plots", but Allam is "as watchable as ever".
