Kristin Kreuk and Rossif Sutherland in Murder in a Small Town (2024)

Review by ZillyPutty

Murder in a Small Town

4/10

Painful

This review is based on a viewing of the first episode and about five minutes of the second episode. I doubt that I will be able to force myself to watch anymore.

As other reviewers have said, this murder-mystery series suffers from a bit of the Hallmark treatment. While the setting of a small coastal town is perfect, some actors are overacting and the script centers on romance-series drivel, there is a ridiculous rate of one murder per episode, the role of Cassandra is painfully written, and Kristin Kreuk's overacting makes it much worse.

This series could have been shaped into a much more sophisticated product with a season- or series-long single primary mystery, but it seems like the creators are appealing to a certain audience base that likes pat little mysteries, and that base does not include me.
