It seems we’ve been eagerly anticipating the television adaptation of “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder” for quite some time now. Fortunately, in 2024, our patience was rewarded, first airing on BBC in the UK and later on Netflix in the US. However, there are only a limited number of episodes, with no announcements regarding a second season as of yet. Given this, I’m guessing you might be searching for another show to satisfy your craving for solving mysteries.
If you’re searching for something similar to “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder,” here’s a list of the top ten shows that will keep you guessing and ready to solve mysteries. Let’s dive right in!
One Of Us Is Lying (2021 – 2022)
According to the novel titled “One Of Us Is Lying” penned by Karen M. McManus, this Peacock original series unfolds around five high school students who share an unusual bond – they were all in detention together. However, one of them tragically passes away during that time. As a result, the remaining four students find themselves entangled in a lengthy investigation, where unexpected events may transpire at any moment.
If you’re in search of a series that shares similarities with “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder,” I strongly recommend giving “One Of Us Is Lying” a try.

Cruel Summer (2021 – 2023)
If you’re on the hunt for a captivating mystery set against the backdrop of the ’90s, then “Cruel Summer” is just what you need. This series offers two enthralling tales: first, the enigma surrounding a missing girl and the enigmatic replacement who steps in during Season 1; second, the evolving bond between friends that alters their lives significantly in Season 2.
Without a doubt, I’ll never forget Hulu for ending this series after just two seasons, given how captivating its concept is and the thrill of unraveling its mysteries. Once you dive into both seasons, I’m confident you’ll discover reasons to adore it, and by the end of the 20 episodes, you’ll be as eager for more as I am.

Nancy Drew (2019 – 2023)
Without a doubt, I couldn’t help but include Nancy Drew in this list. The TV show, modeled after the mystery books sharing the same title, is a gripping drama that chronicles the adventures of a teenage detective. As she delves into one mystery after another, she courageously faces danger, conspiracies, and an assortment of other challenges.
It’s likely that I would have faced criticism if for some reason, Nancy Drew wasn’t included in this spot. While the mysteries in this show might not be as intricately plotted as in “Good Girl’s Guide,” they are incredibly entertaining and you’ll breeze through the four seasons.

Pretty Little Liars (2010 – 2017)
Oh, “Pretty Little Liars” was quite popular when it first aired on Freeform. The story revolves around a group of friends spanning several years, who receive mysterious messages from an unknown entity called “A,” who possesses secrets about each of them. Their mission is to unmask the person behind the threats.
In my adolescence and through my freshman year of college, the TV series “Pretty Little Liars,” adapted from the books of the same name, was a widespread sensation. People couldn’t stop discussing this show throughout its seven seasons, despite the plot becoming somewhat bizarre towards the end. However, it remains an engaging mystery that is worth watching. There were countless hours spent speculating over who A.D. truly was.

Riverdale (2017 – 2023)
Let me share my thoughts on this: For a while, Riverdale was one of the top CW series, modeled after Archie Comics, which portrays a group of teenagers navigating life in the town named after it, dealing not just with school, love, but also the complexities of death and numerous mysteries.
Initially, the first two seasons of “Riverdale” are top-notch. This show started off strong, but as time passed, it became increasingly bizarre and the storyline got muddled. Nevertheless, the initial seasons offered intriguing mysteries that were enjoyable to follow. It might be worthwhile to switch to another mystery series from this list after those two seasons.

Wednesday (2022 – Present)
Without a doubt, you’re familiar with the day we call Wednesday. It’s hard to imagine someone who isn’t! The Netflix series is centered around the Addams Family’s daughter, Wednesday, as she navigates her studies at Nevermore Academy and takes on the challenge of solving a murder mystery within its walls, all while juggling the typical turmoil that comes with being a teenage student at a school for the supernatural.
On a significant note, Wednesday stood out in numerous ways. The cast displayed exceptional talent, the narrative was captivating, and it’s hard to ignore the countless viral moments that surrounded this show when it debuted. With bated breath, we eagerly anticipate Wednesday Season 2, so don’t miss out on the first season.

As a devoted viewer, let me share my enthusiasm for “The Afterparty” on Apple TV+, a hilarious whodunit series that never fails to captivate. Each season presents a fresh tale, whether it be set at a high school reunion or a wedding, with each episode delving into a different character’s account to unravel the mystery of who the culprit is.
As a devoted fan, I can’t help but feel that this show has the potential to continue for many seasons if only it received more recognition. The humor in it is simply off the charts!

Yellowjackets (2021 – Present)
Speaking as a dedicated gamer, let me share some thoughts about “Yellowjackets,” one of the top-notch shows gracing our screens courtesy of Showtime. This captivating series cleverly juggles between two timeframes: the ’90s, where a high school soccer team finds themselves stranded in the Canadian wilderness and must employ every survival trick under the sun to make it through, and the present day, as the women from that fateful trip navigate the aftermath of their harrowing experience years later.
I’m really enjoying the series “Yellowjackets” because even after two seasons, there are still a multitude of mysteries left unraveled. It seems that as one mystery is solved, another pops up just beyond the horizon, which is what makes this show so captivating. With Season 3 already confirmed, you should definitely catch up on the first two!
