Mapleworth Murders

I looked forward to every new episode of this show. The cast is a who's who of great comedians, the writing is funny and very goofy. And I loved the touch of mystery. I hope this show gets picked up by another network!

I can't decide if I'm pitiful or not because I can't stop watching.

This is a short episode series full of silliness and innuendo satirizing the class comfy murder mystery motif. They are well produced and silly, easy fun. I like the high investment in silliness, and while some of the jokes are "lame," as the "top review" says, that is precisely the point. Silliness is so undervalued and so sorely needed in our world! I love that each episode is about 8 minutes and somehow packed with fun. There are tons of jokes here and tons of cameos worth the watch.

Well, you either hate it or love it. For me it's the latter. As a hallmark mystery murder fan I loved it, the humor was pretty dark and vulgair. Don't expect a real serious murder she wrote. The mysteries are too short, around 30 minutes each. The biggest problem I had with this series, it was on QUIBI so every episode was about 10 minutes, it's really a shame, QUIBI has some pretty funny/decent series, but the cut-up into small pieces it just awful. I do hope this series will get a second season (and from there we'll see if it deserves a third) on a service like Netflix or Amazon, with each mystery as one full episode increased from 30 minutes to around 45 minutes, like the original murder she wrote on which this satire is based.

For those who mourn Murder She Wrote, this is a campy send up of that series.

It is over the top - the detractors were expecting something else, perhaps?
