| I really love this series because I have been a long-time fan of murder mysteries from people like the BBC, and this show completely lampoons all of it. Think of it like "Airplane" for the murder mystery set.
If you have any familiarity with the traditional format of murder mysteries, then you'll immediately catch the wave of this show as our hero makes more and more ridiculous accusations as he goes along. The campy parody premise of the show manages to maintain the humor thorough the show and keeps it from getting stale by doing something new and ridiculous each episode. From the clue gathering sequences to the riding in the car, each time they manage to keep it fresh and funny.
If you like murder mysteries (not criminal procedural dramas like "Law And Order", this is more "Sherlock Holmes" than that) and you love sharp parody like "Airplane", then you will love this series. |
