Series 14 of Death in Paradise draws to a close on Friday night and while fans have loved the new season, some have criticised one aspect of the BBC mystery drama.
The show's official Instagram account shared a snap of Élizabeth Bourgine in character as Catherine Bordey ahead of the final series 14 episode and encouraged fans to tune in. The caption read: "Join us at Catherine's bar one last time this series."
While most fans shared their excitement in the comments section, others expressed their disappointment that the series isn't more than eight episodes.
One person wrote: "I love the series but I swear, they need to give us more than 8 episodes," while another added: "I believe it's about time ya'll start giving us more episodes. We're 14 seasons in."
A third viewer penned: "Wait already?! I need more," while another agreed, adding: "Wait what??? The series has finished already??"
