    The bottom of the barrel

    The movies were silly, but watchable. The series is a waste of space. Plot is ridiculous and full of stale tropes. Couldn't make it through the first episode. I was hoping it may have improved on the films. Sadly. No.

    MTH Review

    Where do I even begin with this show? It's not perfect, it's not award winning, but it's so funny and I love it!

    The first three films were pretty good for the most part. They were hilarious, goofy, had great casts and incredible acting from the leading couple and others. But Murder They Hope goes even further and creates a new format which introduces brand new regular characters Monica and Vicky who are absolutely incredible additions! This format also lets us get to know Terry and Gemma on a deeper level which was very interesting to learn.

    I really hope there will be more of this soon! :)

    Rubbish!

    This so called comedy is a disgrace. Not funny, juvenile attempts at humour and pathetic storyline. To present this as adult entertainment is an insult.

    Wasn't this supposed to be a comedy?

    Just didn't seem funny at all which is a shame because I liked first one Blackpool express, unfortunately they seem less funny with each new season. Going to give it a try next week to see if it improves.

    Mindless, but it matters!

    While this show is in fact not going to win awards, it is a wonderful little side track from our current hectic world. It is cute, funny and one does not need to be of sound mind to enjoy. I really like the Comedy and the who done it is gravy. I highly recommend for the laughs.
