Murderville

Loved it. And it's done in such a clever way. For those giving it ones etc etc. Wish you'd just be clever enough to know what your about to watch from the trailer. Or just don't keep watching then moan about it with a one star after watching the entire season. How thick is that.

It's comical to read how many people have such STRONG feelings about such a light hearted, silly tv show. Yikes, go do some yoga or something. My wife and I laughed out loud the entire first episode. It was refreshing to watch a new kind of tv show and it's understandable that not every joke is going to land. Don't listen to dramatic people that should be on a stage themselves. Just like all reviews, you should ignore all ratings with a 1 or 10 because they have no idea how to objectively review anything.

This show is sooo stupid, it comes up hilarious! Laughed out loud over & over. Marshawn was excellent!! Spitting my wine out my mouth!! Will Armett is fabulous.

This was way better than I thought it was going to be. Very clever and fun to solve mini murder mysteries. But I agree with another reviewer on here, they didn't pick the right celebrity guest stars. Annie Murphy was a right waste of time, she barely said anything. For this type of show you really have to throw yourself in there. Conan O'Brien who's not even an actor did better than Annie, Ken and Kumail. I was expecting Ken Jeong to bring much more to the table. The second guy did a great job, he was very good. And Sharon Stone had some brilliant one liners. I hope they are renewed and if so, bring more comedians into the show as they're used to making things up on the spot.

Comparisons to the British original are unavoidable. This US Netflix remake of 'Murder in Successville' jettisons the surreal film-noir feel and celebrity impressions from the supporting cast and opts for a more straight-up spoof of police dramas. The chaotic humour feels the same, though, and it's still very funny. Like the US version of 'The Office', it manages to be different from the original yet still be something equally as valid. My only complaint is that the guest stars in the US version, who have to improvise without a script, all come from comedy or acting backgrounds, so they improvise well and there's very little corpsing. Part of the fun of the original was seeing celebrities without any acting skills out of their depth and struggling not to laugh. But with no more series of the original in production, I'm happy to have both exist.
