Mapleworth Murders

For those who mourn Murder She Wrote, this is a campy send up of that series.

It is over the top - the detractors were expecting something else, perhaps?

Very silly humour and lots of cameos. If you like 30 Rock, Angie Tribeca and Murder She Wrote then this is for you.

I can tell this series is not for everyone. This is the first series I've seen on Quibi and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The plots are ridiculous, the jokes are corny, and the physical comedy is on point. I couldn't help but laugh out loud. And I love the relationship between Ms. Mapleworth and Heidi (her niece).

Well, you either hate it or love it. For me it's the latter. As a hallmark mystery murder fan I loved it, the humor was pretty dark and vulgair. Don't expect a real serious murder she wrote. The mysteries are too short, around 30 minutes each. The biggest problem I had with this series, it was on QUIBI so every episode was about 10 minutes, it's really a shame, QUIBI has some pretty funny/decent series, but the cut-up into small pieces it just awful. I do hope this series will get a second season (and from there we'll see if it deserves a third) on a service like Netflix or Amazon, with each mystery as one full episode increased from 30 minutes to around 45 minutes, like the original murder she wrote on which this satire is based.

This is a short episode series full of silliness and innuendo satirizing the class comfy murder mystery motif. They are well produced and silly, easy fun. I like the high investment in silliness, and while some of the jokes are "lame," as the "top review" says, that is precisely the point. Silliness is so undervalued and so sorely needed in our world! I love that each episode is about 8 minutes and somehow packed with fun. There are tons of jokes here and tons of cameos worth the watch.
