4 Years Later, Netflix’s 6-Part Crime Series Is An Easy One-Night Weekend Binge

by

This clever 6-episode series on Netflix is perfect for watching all in one sitting. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing weekend watch or a quick escape after work, it blends crime and comedy in a fresh and highly engaging way. With a fantastic cast, including Will Arnett, this Netflix original is a must-see for anyone who enjoys both genres.

If you recently finished watching the acclaimed crime-comedy series Deadloch on Prime Video, especially its new six-episode season released last Friday, you’ll likely enjoy this Netflix series. It’s a six-episode show that playfully satirizes typical crime dramas with exaggerated characters and a mix of realistic and fictional elements, designed to quickly grab your attention and keep you watching all in one sitting.

Murderville Is An Underrated Crime Comedy Series On Netflix

If you’re looking for a show to watch all in one sitting, check out Murderville on Netflix. It stars Will Arnett, who’s famous for shows like BoJack Horseman and The Madison, films like Is This Thing On? and The Lego Batman Movie, and the Smartless podcast. Arnett plays Terry Seattle, a hilariously exaggerated and quirky police detective. Each episode features a different celebrity guest – including Conan O’Brien, Sharon Stone, Annie Murphy, Ken Jeong, Kumail Nanjiani, and Marshawn Lynch – who tries to help Terry solve a murder.

Released in 2022, Murderville is a funny and unique show on Netflix that blends the classic clueless detective trope with the cozy mystery format, all presented in a reality TV style. Despite positive viewer feedback – it earned a 78% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes – the series wasn’t renewed for another season. A holiday special, Who Killed Santa? A Murderville Murder Mystery, featuring Jason Bateman, was released later that year.

The special episode, Who Killed Santa? A Murderville Murder Mystery, is actually a double-length installment of Murderville, running 52 minutes compared to the usual 29-35 minutes. With the original series totaling 3 hours and 17 minutes, and including the special, the complete Murderville clocks in at 4 hours and 9 minutes—making it perfect for a single-night binge. It’s a lighthearted show that’s easy to watch and doesn’t demand your full attention. And if you’re looking for a crime show that isn’t too intense or graphic, Murderville focuses more on comedy.

Binge All 6 Episodes Of Netflix’s Murderville In Just One Night

As a total cinema and TV buff, let me tell you, the best way to experience Murderville is to just dive in and watch it all at once. It’s one of those shows perfectly designed for a binge-watch! Each episode throws a new celebrity guest into a completely improvised murder mystery – they have no idea what’s coming! It’s hilarious watching them try to keep up with Will Arnett’s character, Terry Seattle, and essentially figure things out on the fly, kind of like they’re stuck in a really intense, unpredictable escape room.

The show Murderville received positive reviews, earning a ‘Certified Fresh’ rating of 74% on Rotten Tomatoes. The Los Angeles Times praised its willingness to be playfully imperfect, calling it “the perfect escape for messy times.” Similarly, RogerEbert.com highlighted the show’s comedic energy and clever approach to the popular crime-solving genre, noting its ability to create both engaging and absurd storylines.

I absolutely loved Poker Face, and if you do too – if you’re into fun, clever, and lighthearted mysteries – then you have to check out Murderville on Netflix. Even though it came out a few years ago, it’s still one of the most enjoyable shows you can just sit and watch all in one go!
