Dead Hot

This show captivated my family and I from the start. It's bright, colorful, fun, suspenseful, young, hip, and binge-able as hell. I got lost in the story and attached to the characters from the start. It's written in a way that's serious but silly at the same time. I can't think of any other show that's done a murder-mystery in this way. As much I was on the edge of my seat, that suspense was cut by the most hilarious, out of pocket jokes and moments I never saw coming. I hope so badly there is a second season to this! I NEED to know what happens next. The curveballs at the end threw me!! Sharing Dead Hot with all of my friends who are equally as hooked and antsy for more!!

What a gem! Like all classic British tv comedy shows it comes in at 6 episodes, each of which gallops along at pace. The two leads are excellent, combining empathy, comedy but with a perfect underlying stench of suspicion. Supporting cast are similarly up to par, memorable and funny. Peter Serafinowicz in particular!

Writing and dialogue was a dream, never a dull moment, with little easter eggs packed into everything. The show overall felt tight, no wasted scenes, shots, dialogue or characters. The amount of detail that Aunt Bonnie's equastrian kink was unbelievable for such a side plot.

As a side note, I'm confused by the low overall rating from silent reviewers...

Overall unique characters, fast paced and satisfying resolution!

I really enjoyed this show. All I can say is it is bananas. Definitely crazy over the top at moments but in a good way! The actors were all great. Mystery mixed with some drama and humor. I have no idea if they are planning to or even where the story would go if there was a second season but I would definitely watch more of Dead Hot.

You've never seen anything like it. It's silly and suspense and wild -- and the twists will make your jaw drop. The cast is great. It's funny to see someone like Penelope Wilton who you know from Downton Abbey diving head first into the material. Peter Serafinowicz is another legend in this -- but it's the new young cast that shines.

It is both a comedy and a mystery. Dead Hot is also very modern. Set in edgy Liverpool, it deals with dating apps and psychics and crazy workouts and nutty nightclubs. This is not for the prudish or traditional. The characters are often selfish and weird and yet that makes them more lovable.

Highly recommended.

I didn't expect much going into this - I often find Prime Video series to be predictable and dull - but I fancied a light, fun murder-mystery as a change from the more serious, gritty ones which can get quite tedious sometimes... so I gave it a try.

Within the first episode, my curiosity was piqued and I was ready to binge the whole thing. There are laugh-out-loud moments aplenty but I also felt the show handled the more serious scenes well which helped to propel the mystery within the show as well as build the audience's empathy and investment in the characters.

Anyone who loves plot twists will have a ball with this series - each new clue leads to further questions, with the strange events & twists occurring throughout the show right up until the very end.

Sadly I expect Prime will not commission a second season as they often don't commit to these shows unless they go viral. But I really hope I'm wrong and they release a second installment as I think the wonderful characters and playful-yet-punchy writing has a lot of potential.

I strongly recommend this to anyone looking for a light-hearted mystery series with lots of comedy and heartfelt moments thrown in.
