John Anderson Wall Street Journal 10/30/2024
There are only so many conventions one can avoid in putting together mysteries about epidemic murder in tiny English villages... “Marlow” begs our indulgence, in other words, but given its various charms, it needn’t make very much effort doing so. Go to Full Review
Jen Shieff New Zealand Herald Jan 9
4/5
It’s an enjoyable series with fun-to-watch fairly ordinary do-gooders bringing down nefarious schemers, and it’s reassuring to find happy endings are possible and crime still doesn’t pay. Go to Full Review
Joly Herman Common Sense Media 11/13/2024
A charming mystery with great female leads, this show builds slowly but doesn't lean on shock to create intrigue. Go to Full Review
Meghan O'Keefe Decider 10/28/2024
Look, groundbreaking it sure is not, but cozy, it most definitely is. Go to Full Review

Niki M Apr 30 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! See more Nancy M @nmack 11/25/2024 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. See more William R @wlriechel 11/07/2024 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! See more Jonathan M @Jonathan555 10/31/2024 An "Only Murders In the Building" wannabe, but with better scenery. Devolves into ridiculousness very quickly. See more Rachael E 10/29/2024 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. See more Read all reviews
