Critic Reviews

Kathryn Porter

Jul 25, 2024

On top of the excellent writing and performances, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is given a backdrop with a well-rounded, potentially timeless aesthetic that relies on being soft instead of flashy. Read full review

A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder rides on the charm of Emma Myers, but there’s also a solid mystery to get to the bottom of, which isn’t always the case in shows like this. Read full review

An involving ride — not so much for the plot as for the characters (which is how all detective stories live or die) and a great performance by Emma Myers (“Wednesday”) as its central sleuth, Pippa Fitz-Amobi. Read full 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. Read full review

Collider Samantha Graves

Jul 31, 2024

In terms of gripping the viewer and getting them invested in the mystery, the initial setup is rather lackluster, so much so that it's difficult to say whether there’s even a setup at all. .... That said, when the series finally gets into the mystery, it really gets into it, and A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder knows how to pull off its plot twists. Read full review

Looper Akos Peterbencze

Even the tiniest and seemingly most insignificant details help put all the moving pieces into their place. Ultimately, as in most mystery series, getting the story right is what ends up being the most important thing here. And despite its shortcomings, "A Good Girl's Guide to Murder" is able to do just that in the end. Read full review

The writing, directing, and acting struggle to find a balance, resulting in not a single notable performance (except the suspect uncovered in Episode 5, around the exact time that the show becomes marginally watchable). Read full review
