I really like that show (so far/up to episode 9) and it is really creative. You really have to endure episode one, because it's really confusing with the introduction of all the people and sometimes you don't know who is who and what their relations are/were. Maybe that's just a "me problem".

Episode two is gradually elevating that series.

It's basically - if you can compare those - "Desperate Housewives" and "Why Women Kill". If you loved those series then this one is for you.

The characters are so over the top sometimes but it's part of the story. The story telling is also new: 6 months before and 6 months after. You get several glimpses into the future and switch back to the present. It's a good concept. Even how they visually announce that.

I really like this new show! It keeps me laughing in parts along with the dark murder mystery. It doesn't take itself too seriously . I like the fact that we know who the murderers are but not the who they murdered or why. I also like the interplay between the main characters . I did find the time differences a bit confusing in the first episode , but I did get used to the time switches in the following episodes ( and it was fun looking for the clever notices of the time switch in the scenes). It reminds me a bit of " Desperate Housewives" which was one of my favorite shows back in the day, so that is a compliment. All in all I think it's a good show that is a bit different from what is currently on tv.

We're only a few episodes in, but so far, this show is pretty good. The pacing is strong, it never drags, and it doesn't veer into anything over-the-top. It's not trying to be ground-breaking, it's just fun, light, and easy to settle into.

The story moves well, and there's just enough intrigue in each episode to keep you coming back. It's a good story with a glossy style. The characters have their own sexy appeal, and the tone strikes a nice balance.

That said, this show isn't for everyone. If you're looking for high drama or big twists, this ain't it. Even though this show is a bit cheesy and campy, the characters are a little shallow and one-dimensional, it works for what it is. It's the kind of show that's easy to settle into at the end of the day without feeling like a chore to follow.

I wouldn't call it a must-watch or addictive, but it fills a nice gap between overly heavy dramas and throwaway background shows. For me, it's off to a pretty good start.

I just don't understand the bad reviews here. I love this show! It's one of our new favorites. There are so many twists and turns, and it's very suspenseful. It does remind me a lot of HTGAWM, which was another favorite. I like the quirky characters and the writing. The actors are good in their roles. The back and forth and way they present the time frame are interesting to me. Soooo many hateful, cruel people you can see why someone got murdered! Someone else recommended to me, and I'm glad I listened. Always ends on a cliffhanger, leaving you waiting for more. And I just can't wait til next episode!

I love how this show is constantly testing if you know who "quiche" is. I love Aja Naomi King and Birdie! I really hope it gets a season 2. The editing back and forth between the timelines is perfect because they add text clues but also the coloring is different. I do weekly recaps on my TikTok channel and my audience and I are having a blast trying to figure out what's all going on. I love how the 4 main characters are like a merry band of misfits who get into all sorts of trouble on top of a murder. It's fun and light but full of drama lol. I do wish first seasons were longer than 10 episodes to give shows more of a chance for a season 2.
