Niki M This follows the cozy mystery trope faithfully, but runs out of steam fairly early on. There are so many plot holes and unlikely co-incidences that it becomes a little tedious after a while. It needed some brisk editing, and would have been more interesting if there was a single mystery per episode instead of stretching each mystery over two episodes. There is only so much simpering and mugging that a viewer can stand. The main redeeming features were the glimpses of the lovely countryside and venerable old buildings. As a promo video for Marlow tourism it does a good job! Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/30/25 Full Review Nancy M We enjoyed this show. It’s not cozy, definitely not gritty. Good characters and good performances. It’s easy on the brain and senses but not insulting. We’re looking forward to the next season. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review William R One of the slowest murder mysteries that I've ever watched on PBS ridiculous plot in regards to whenever they found out some valuable information they didn't turn it over to the police. He should have stayed home, drinking tea and eating crumpets. Boring! Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review Jonathan M An "Only Murders In the Building" wannabe, but with better scenery. Devolves into ridiculousness very quickly. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Rachael E If you look at the credits women are the main characters, yet the men are the creatives. It would have been better to have a woman as the director and at least written the script adapted from the book by a woman because these characters, the women, act like an idealist and often cute version of what a person really is because of the script and the direction. They lack dimension. The script jumps around. And the direction is adequate. The art direction is good which makes it enjoyable to at least look at it. The cinematography is pleasant. Jo Martin gives a stand out performance. I wish her character would have been able to show more of her serious emotions instead of being directed to be adorable and funny most of the time. Most characters had little transitions they just changed with an instant whim, to satisfy the script. Or was that because of the editing as well? Either way most of their performances were jerky and made no sense. The dog and cat were nice touches to the show. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
