A police detective dreams of leaving the force to run a country restaurant with his accountant wife. Instead, his demanding superior continues calling on his sharp investigative skills, forcing him to balance solving local crimes with managing the restaurant and its colorful staff.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you prefer gentle, low-violence mysteries with food, warm character dynamics, and understated humor; Not for you if you want gritty tension, complex twists, or fast-paced crime drama.
