Mapleworth Murders

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 show was well written and just plain fun. I would really like to see more episodes written. In this format it would be hard to deep dive into all characters in twelve episodes. So this is not an in-depth show, yet they did manage to develop intriguing characters that could expand their relationships in future shows. Mapleworth Murders was a hilarious bright spot each day I watched.

I can't decide if I'm pitiful or not because I can't stop watching.

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).

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?
