The premise is beyond absurd.  I can't commit.  The preview had me going nope.  I'll read y'alls comments to verify. 

Agreed. The likelihood that this many murders can occur within an unlikely group of true crime aficionados' interpersonal circle, and them not only having nothing to do with said murders, but ultimately solving them? Completely implausible. I'm just not buying it.

As a reader, I will paraphrase John Irving, "I wonder if people who complain about a work of fiction not being 'realistic' understand that what they really don't like is, plot."  I get the complaint, but if you watch mysteries (especially serial mysteries that follow individuals solving murders) this is the number one thing that you need to let go of to enjoy.  None of us would want to vacation in St. Marie in the Caribbean because over 100 people have been murdered there.  But Death in Paradise has a strong audience.

I certainly hope you weren't a Sons of Anarchy fan.

 

I'll check it out just for this:

I like Martin Short enough to even watch the new Match Game, and he's great as a host.  I even enjoyed the first two seasons of Murders, but the last wasn't so good, and now they're involving the mob into their escapades.  It's not just the plausibility that mars it for me, its also that the stories keep getting thinner and thinner, while getting hokier.

Well then whatever you do don’t vacation or be in the same town as Jessica Fletcher on Murder, She Wrote. 😁 268 episodes and 12 seasons.

Murder occurred with such regularity in her vicinity that the term "Cabot Cove syndrome" was coined to describe the constant appearance of dead bodies in remote locations. Indeed, if Cabot Cove existed in real life, it would top the FBI's national crime statistics in numerous categories, with some analysis suggesting that the homicide rate in Cabot Cove exceeds even that of the real-life murder capital of the world
