Will Arnett teamed up with Netflix to give us Murderville, a murder mystery show that is half scripted and half improv. Will Arnett and a few other cast members are given a basic script, and the episode’s guest star is not given one. That guest has to pay attention because they have to solve the murder of the week.
Who are the victims? I mean guest cops, who work alongside Terry Seattle (Arnett)? They are Annie Murphy, Conan O’Brien, Ken Jeong, Kumail Nanjiani, Marshawn Lynch, Sharon Stone. Believe it or not, football star Lynch was the best one of them all, and they were all great as they put up with the comedic punches.
Each episode starts off with Chief Rhonda Jenkins-Seattle (Haneefah Wood) telling her soon-to-be ex-husband that he is getting a new partner. Then Seattle banters with them before they go to the morgue. When they get there, they are greeted by Medical Examiner Amber Kang (Lillian Bowen). She tells them how each victim was murdered and gives them some clues. Now, Seattle and his partner of the week are off to interview three different suspects. At the end of the interrogations, the guest star has to reveal who they think did and why? Once they make their reveal, the chief comes out and tells them if they are correct or if they are wrong.
Sounds easy, it isn’t. This is one of the few police procedurals where I didn’t get any of the killers correct. But then again, it could be because the biggest guest star was the cop and not the murderer. How evil is that?
Not as evil as Arnet is to all of them. He keeps them on their toes with his humor. All of the guest stars have to play off of him and not laugh. Jeong kept breaking while Stone was able to one-up his crazy antics. And there is Conan, who was taken down by a little girl. It was so awesome to watch.
Actually, all six episodes are fun to watch, and I hope that Netflix orders more because I need and want it. I need an episode with Will Forte!
Murderville is the type of show that you binge in one afternoon. However, you are going to watch it again to see if you can resolve all of the crimes now that you know who committed them and why.
Will Arnett has done scripted and unscripted shows. Coming on February 3rd, he is going to combine the two with Murderville on Netflix.
The six-episode procedural is described as “Meet Senior Detective Terry Seattle (Will Arnett), Homicide Division. For Terry, every day means a new murder case and a new celebrity guest star as his partner. But here’s the catch: each episode’s guest star isn’t being given the script. They have no idea what’s about to happen to them. Together, the guest star and Terry Seattle will have to improvise their way through the case… but it will be up to each celebrity guest alone to name the killer.”
Who are the celebrity detectives? They are Annie Murphy, Conan O’Brien, Ken Jeong, Kumail Nanjiani, Marshawn Lynch, and Sharon Stone. I think Conan’s episode will be the funniest, and Lunch is going to surprise us. What does a football player know about improv? We will find out.
I can’t wait to see what mayhem they bring because you know they are going to bring it.
Did you watch the movie Just Look Up on Netflix and wondered what happened when you dialed the number for FEMA/Bash? Well, thanks to TikTok, we know. It sends you to a Sex Chat Line! And ladies, it is free for us. So it is a win/win.
Thank you, Adam McKay. This was the best joke from the movie. And there were several good ones.
There are a lot of couples who Netflix & Chill and kiss. Well, they are not the only ones, so are the people that they are watching. And I am not just talking about the kissing in The Kissing Booth 3.
Therefore the streaming service decided to put their smooches together in one video. There is only one problem, well two, there is nothing from Bridgerton or Sex/Life. But then again, who watched the latter for the kissing? We all watched for the third episode about 20 minutes in. That was the most-talked-about scene of the year. Can you tell me a bigger one, both literally and figuratively?
Netflix gave fans of Bridgerton the gift they have been waiting for. They announced that Season 2 is going to debut three months from today. So mark your calendars because you don’t want to miss what happens next when the erotic period drama returns on March 25th!
