Ok 3 episodes in, I am not sure why, but this actually works pretty well. Two has been boomers join forces with a weird millennial to solve a murder mystery and make a podcast about it at the same time. Everyone plays their part well and the chemistry is good. I will stick with this.

s1: 90 // s2: 60 A nice blend of comedy and mystery with fun characters and unmistakable chemistry. Does sometimes dip into the "hey here's all of our famous friends" trap, though.

Cozy and zippy whodunnit fodder that is sure to keep even the most inattentive couch potato happy. So this is a winner, and the inspired casting of the three leads is, of course, the key to its success. Bring on season 3!

I've never really been a fan of Martin Short, I think Steve Martin is only occasionally funny, and the ads for this didn't look great. For some reason, I still checked this out. And I'm glad I did. They nailed the tone here, and everything just works. The mystery itself is fun, though nothing mindblowing, but the three leads have a very natural chemistry.

Selena Gomez can't act but somehow she doesn't detract. The first season is great. The second season brings on Cara Delevigne, who is utterly insufferable. I couldn't finish it. Maybe later seasons redeem it.

So far this has been a good, funny, light-hearted, and well-produced satire on the classic who-done-it? It gets a little more absurd each season without much character growth. Hopefully that changes if they continue on with production. If not, this rating might drop.

Very fun murder mystery! Every season has a satisfying conclusion and then sets up the next season, in the last episode.

Thoroughly enjoying the first season of this well balanced show. Story telling, humour, wit, a mixture of comedy. It is never disappointing seeing Martin and Short. Some say the season didn’t make sense. It made sense; it’s a comedy.

Selana Gomez's acting seems a bit flat and monotone as compared to comedic styles of Steve Martin and Martin Short, but maybe that was intentional. It's an entertaining murder mystery series

A murder mystery should have a better script. Last few episodes of the first season made so little sense that it ruined the immersion. Suspension of disbelief can only keep you engaged for so long before your start caring. No idea how the latter seasons are, can't be bothered to check based on S1.

Gomez is noticeably outshined by Martin and Short, but the show has plenty of laughs and a surprising amount of mystery.

The cast works really well together. Season 1 is more interesting overall than Season 2, but Season 2 still has some really clever episodes and pays of really nicely. I am excited to watch season 3!

A really fun show. Loved both seasons 1 and 2, though the ending of season 2 was a bit rushed. I did not guess who the murderer was in either season, though I can't say I spent a lot of time thinking about it. Despite two famous comedians and a famous singer staring in the show, be aware this is more of a mystery drama, not a comedy or musical show.

Though interesting and clever, the laughs are few and far between, especially from the huge talents of Steve Martin and Martin Short.

Martin Short and Steve Martin have great chemistry. Not a fan of Selena Gomez in here, but hey, ratings. Saw the ending coming from a mile away, the overall plot leaves something to be desired. It's a cute show, a tad too long, but fun.

S1: I was not expecting to like it this much. If you haven’t listened to Serial, drop 5 points but if you have, it adds a lil bit extra since even the theme music is influenced by it, let alone the whole structure, and the podcaster (the name :)). Well written, well produced, directed and acted. Great characters, a good show.

This was a chance find that I really enjoyed. You don't really know what to expect and in each episode, they throw something imaginative and original at you. It is a very difficult structure honestly, and this is why I liked it so much, it can just self-demolish at any time, but it does not. I'm looking forward to watching the second season. All actors excel, but Martin deserves a special mention; I love the opening credits also.

The series started out great, but it declines a bit near the end of the first series. The twists throughout the show were fun and kept my interest. Season 2 loses its way with some weak casting choices and a messier story. It's fun to watch, but not a "must see."
