My sister recommended this to me after she watched while working remotely. Turns out, that's the perfect way to experience this--while intermittently concentrating on something else more important. Entertaining, with lots of good character turns by appealing actors, but the jokes are too broad and go on too long, and by two-thirds of the way through, you just don't care who actually did it.

A clever , pleasingly quirky murder mystery comedy. Lots of fun characters, and goofy subplots , red herrings. I liked it, I think they should make more but probably don't have to be 8 episodes. That's my one real complaint, it REALLY stretches revisiting some of the things over and over and over. Still, WAY more thought out and visually playful that 90 percent of new shows , so enjoy it.

Heavy handed politically, thematically and in its comedy -- but entertaining.

Would have liked to have liked it, but, as with many of Shonda's series, it just ends up unbelievable and not in a fun way. I started to worry when the chef was flinging glassware against the wall and screaming, and from then on all I could see was faults. Stopped after episode three.

“Oh look at us, we’re so clever that we can turn this story about a likeable genius detective into a tedious slog!”

Story was good, editing was good; but... every time the writer wants to be the 'funny' guy, the whole lovable and cozy show turns into an unbearable cringe-fest.

I liked it: every good classic detective has a 'thing' ...and why not bird-watching? (maybe as a slightly lazy placeholder for a 'special powers' autism spectrum neurodiversity). Behind the breezy and quick-smart comedy, there is a meditation on the relative value of tradition and innovation (the gauche interior design choices may well be a metaphor for MAGA DOGE Republicanism). The show comes out firmly on the side of valuing institutional traditions; make of that what you will.

Enjoyable whodunit quirky comedy. Some of the bit got a little tiresome after a while, but still watched to the very end. Absolutely loved seeing Al Franken back on TV. Would love to see another Detective Cupp mystery.

Enjoyable. Aduba is likeable and the cast are interesting, but it does drag on at times.

I love a good murder mystery. The "quirky genius detective" trope is absolutely overdone, although the actress carries it well, but it takes this show down a notch in my book. Good cast, good cinematography, good storytelling, not the most exciting reveal at the end but not a bad one either.
