Season 1 Review:
Her quest to solve the case puts her in a lot of dicey scenarios — seedy, yeah, but also just too grown-up, and Myers’s luminous performance beautifully and poignantly synthesizes this blend of panic, regret, embarrassment, determination, courage, fear and stubbornness.

Season 1 Review:
Myers makes for an appealing heroine, particularly when Pip and Ravi begin working together and arguing about which of them is Holmes and which has the “Martin Freeman energy” to be better suited as Watson. It’s not reinventing the wheel, nor is it the best possible version of the genre. (If you’re curious, Veronica Mars Season One is over on Hulu.) But as Pip keeps getting in way over her head, it’s not hard to understand why books, TV, and film keep returning to the archetype.

Season 1 Review:
For the first five episodes, particularly the penultimate one, which reveals a stunning twist, “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder” engagingly unpacks the anguish of being a teenage girl, the complexities of friendship and the deceptiveness of appearances. But as Pip ties up loose ends in the finale, plotlines become jumbled and farfetched, as if the writers were racing to put a neat bow around the story.

Season 1 Review:
Overall, A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder is solid viewing. It’s speedy enough—six 40-minute episodes—that no installment is devoid of action. Despite some slight British accent problems, Myers is mostly great as Pip, and compelling to watch, and the legendary Maxwell-Martin is fantastic as her mum.
