A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder Review: A Wobbly Teen Whodunit With A Twisty End Game
Netflix’s collection of streaming content includes a abundance of murder mysteries, crime shows, and whodunits. So, it was likely just another addition to their lineup for Netflix’s executives when they acquired the international rights to the BBC’s six-episode series “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder.” This show premiered in the U.K. about a month ago and is based on Holly Jackson’s novel of the same name. The adaptation, created by Poppy Cogan, aligns perfectly with Netflix’s preferences: a brief and addictive whodunit centered around high-school students that focuses more on intriguing plot twists than character development. With forgettable characters but an appealing melancholic atmosphere, complicated relationships, and a captivating murder investigation that grows increasingly complex with each episode, it offers a lighter version of true crime for the summer season.
