Murderville

It's comical to read how many people have such STRONG feelings about such a light hearted, silly tv show. Yikes, go do some yoga or something. My wife and I laughed out loud the entire first episode. It was refreshing to watch a new kind of tv show and it's understandable that not every joke is going to land. Don't listen to dramatic people that should be on a stage themselves. Just like all reviews, you should ignore all ratings with a 1 or 10 because they have no idea how to objectively review anything.

Arnett is great but the celebrities could have done better job. I was so excited to see Conan doing this, knowing he has huge improv background and 30 years of comedy behind him but he was a little dull and the others are mostly worse. The writers didn't also come up with much ideas and lots of the stuff done be celebrities repeats. I haven't seen the british version but probably will now.

Fans of Improv are going to love "Murderville" on #netflix.

Eccentric detective Terry Seattle (played by the hilarious Will Arnett) teams up with a new clueless celebrity guest star on each of the 6 episodes in series one.

Stars include (Stuber, The Big Sick) Kumail Nanjiani, Sharon Stone & late night TV Talk Show host Conan O'Brien.

The guest stars have no script and no idea of the plot line which is wickedly funny, especially when Will has to adlib to their reactions.

Together they investigate a series of murders in this improvisational crime comedy and the guest who plays a Trainee Cop has to solve the crime by the end of the episode given the cryptic clues laid out over each half hour instalment.

The results are very natural and better than most totally scripted streaming shows.

It's got it all comedy, crime and mystery.

While it might not be everyone's cup of tea I'm enjoying it.

Directed by Iain Morris the EP on "The Inbetweeners" which took me back to my high school days.

Here's hoping this is the first of many series of "Murderville" based on the British show, "Murder in Successville".

As a lot of reviews have said, pick your 'partners' carefully. Poor Annie Murphy. She definitely is not used to improv and needs a script. I hope this gets a second season. But they really have to select people who can improv similar to Kumail and Conan. Get people like Larry David, Keegan Michael-Key or, Arnett's ex, Amy Poehler. Or, go back to Arrested Development and call on Jason Bateman or David Cross. Hell, Michael Cera would probably be brilliant! Again the concept is great, and Arnett is hilarious. He carries the show. Let's get a second run but this time they have to NAIL the casting.

This show, I thought was brilliant. There's nothing better than a bit of improvisation when it comes to comedy.

I was wondering if I could find this funny, turns out, I found it hilarious. Knowing that the celebrities had no clue what to say, and even the impromptu giggling at a gag, was comical.

But...... the show would have been even better, had they picked the right celebrities for the job. If you're coming in to a show like this, you HAVE to commit! Too many times Will Arnett was spoon feeding them lines, things to do and say.

Sharon Stone was probably the only one that earned it, she was excellent. I was really looking forward to Ken Jeong, but he was a massive disappointment, laughed at everything and gave nothing back.

I really hope they make another series, but, the team selection is paramount to this shows success.

I know they're big names, but Will Ferrell, Ryan Reynolds, Mark Walhberg, Jim Carrey, to name a few that would eat this show up!

Get players of the same ilk and this show will thrive!
