Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
The new Netflix comedy series, “Murderville,” isn’t wall-to-wall laughs, but it has enough funny moments that it’s worth a look. The material is lukewarm, but the comic talent is outstanding, and it’s fun watching the actors working off one another, improvising bits.

Season 1 Review:
A show like “Murderville” is essentially hit and miss by default, in that some sequences are clearly more successful in getting a good reaction that others. But it has enough comic spark, and it's clever in how it indulges our constant fixation with the competency of solving crimes, while winding up its own absurd plots.

Season 1 Review:
When everything melds together on Murderville, with the guests feeling like part of the troupe instead of a name air-dropped in, it’s a very enjoyable watch. When the celebs aren’t a great fit, it’s up to Arnett and the cast to keep everything going, and they often do.

Season 1 Review:
That a duo or group of performers can collectively improvise even a semicoherent story on the fly, where none existed minutes before, is half the magic. The “Murderville” setup stymies so much of this, which is why guest selection is vital. If only everyone were working at Stone’s level.

Season 1 Review:
Blessed with a likable cast, game guest stars and just-challenging-enough mysteries, the six episodes range from faintly amusing to reasonably diverting. It’s just never as entertaining as it seems like it should be — or as the people onscreen appear to think it is.

Season 1 Review:
Mediocre comedy is depressing to watch, but mediocre improvisation is excruciating, and almost every Murderville scene is torturous cringe. Arnett just doesn’t have the skills: he is unable to drive the action with any authority, corpses far too often, and has a knack for throwing his guests lines to which there can be no amusing answer.
