Murder on the Menu

If this Morning Show Mystery: Murder on the Menu is what the producers are cooking as a mystery series, I can tell you that there is no mystery here just a terrible smell and lots of smoke without substance from the stove top burning.

Actress Holly Robinson Peete plays a gourmet chef named Billie whose passion is more in crime solving than running a restaurant. My opionion is that Billie needs to spend less time out on the street vainly trying to act as a cutesy wutesy amateur sleuth, and more time displaying some vagueness of being a top rated chef. In any event cook and/or crime solver this kitchen curio stinks to HIGH heaven.

Not worth more than a 2 out of 10 rating. Hey what's that bad smell?????

I just have to say kudos because the Detective/love interest is 5 years younger than Holly! It seems women age out much more quickly than male actors. So yeah to Hallmark for putting an actress with a younger man. The show is typical HMM fair. If you enjoy the other movie series, you will like this one too.

This Hallmark series is really good! The acting is great and I enjoy the storylines. I love Aunt Cassandra, she is so funny!

HI It is a good show but some Basic things were overlooked. They bad guy in the wheelchair---------------first How did he get in the car and his wheelchair folded up when the nurse and other gal being held at gunpoint were in the house All of a sudden he is seated in the car, and THEN when they get to the place she is to be shot, the wheelchair guy is out of the car in his chair Amazing and not accurate

So like the other reviews say, Holly Robinson is about the only reason to watch this. The writing is truly awful (even for a Hallmark movie) and some of the other actors are pretty bad, particularly the male lead who must be an athlete(?) Certainly not an actor by any stretch of the imagination.

I made it through two of these but I think that's it for me. I enjoyed catching up with Holly again but wish she'd find something a little more worth watching.
