Summary

I really like this new show! It keeps me laughing in parts along with the dark murder mystery. It doesn't take itself too seriously . I like the fact that we know who the murderers are but not the who they murdered or why. I also like the interplay between the main characters . I did find the time differences a bit confusing in the first episode , but I did get used to the time switches in the following episodes ( and it was fun looking for the clever notices of the time switch in the scenes). It reminds me a bit of " Desperate Housewives" which was one of my favorite shows back in the day, so that is a compliment. All in all I think it's a good show that is a bit different from what is currently on tv.
This is what I call a "laundry folding show." Put it on, turn off your brain, and just enjoy yourself while you fold your laundry on the coffee table. That's this to a tee. Very light and fun. If this were on Netflix, it'd be a big hit. It reminded me of No Good Deed on Netflix.
My one complaint is that the constant, and I mean constant, cutting back and forth between the two timelines is a bit overdone and distracting. I wish there was less of that because you can lose track of the character beats depending on the timeline. But that aside, it's great. Melissa Fumero is the MVP. Great to see her play a completely different character form her role on Brooklyn 911.

I love how this show is constantly testing if you know who "quiche" is. I love Aja Naomi King and Birdie! I really hope it gets a season 2. The editing back and forth between the timelines is perfect because they add text clues but also the coloring is different. I do weekly recaps on my TikTok channel and my audience and I are having a blast trying to figure out what's all going on. I love how the 4 main characters are like a merry band of misfits who get into all sorts of trouble on top of a murder. It's fun and light but full of drama lol. I do wish first seasons were longer than 10 episodes to give shows more of a chance for a season 2.
I really like that show (so far/up to episode 9) and it is really creative. You really have to endure episode one, because it's really confusing with the introduction of all the people and sometimes you don't know who is who and what their relations are/were. Maybe that's just a "me problem".
Episode two is gradually elevating that series.
It's basically - if you can compare those - "Desperate Housewives" and "Why Women Kill". If you loved those series then this one is for you.
The characters are so over the top sometimes but it's part of the story. The story telling is also new: 6 months before and 6 months after. You get several glimpses into the future and switch back to the present. It's a good concept. Even how they visually announce that.

I was excited when I saw this show was coming. I'm a big fan of the kinda cheesy, kinda dark murder mystery genre. The idea sounded intriguing, someone is murdered but who is it? The first episode was good. But now 4 episodes in and it's losing its luster. The constant timeline changes can be confusing. And it if I'm honest, the main characters are not very likeable. I can't stand a character that constantly gets in their own way and is completely oblivious how their behavior affects everyone else. "Alice" springs to mind. The other characters have equally annoying traits.
I like how it's filmed, the scenery, the small town feel.
I wanted to love it, but right now mehh.

- TriviaA running gag for the series is that Birdie is trying to quit smoking, but almost every episode includes at least a scene with her smoking.
