Should You Try It: A Good Girl's Guide to Murder streaming on Netflix

As a seasoned binge-watcher and avid reader who has navigated the murky waters of many a detective series, I find myself intrigued by A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. With my summer evenings filled with Olympic highlights and the occasional lull between gold medal events, this six-episode drama seemed like just the right dose of suspense and intrigue.


During the Summer Olympics, there’s an abundance of sports and entertainment to enjoy. Once you’ve watched all the swimming, gymnastics, and other events, you might be searching for something else to indulge in. If so, a new TV series could catch your interest. This week, there aren’t many premieres, but Netflix is introducing a new drama based on a book series. Is it worth checking out? Let’s consider the facts!

Series: A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder

Where to Find It: All six episodes are now available to stream on Netflix.

Title Overview: This fresh Netflix series, currently airing on BBC Three in the UK and available globally on Netflix, is a six-episode journey inspired by Holly Jackson’s book series. The adaptation was handled by Poppy Cogan, with three episodes directed by Dolly Wells, who has previously worked on the show “Doll & Em”.

The season covers the first novel with the potential for future seasons to cover more books in the series. But the first season tells a self-contained story with a resolution, similar to the book of the same name upon which It’s based. It’s focuses on Pip Fitz-Amobi (Emma Myers), a young student who isn’t satisfied by the police investigation into a missing teen.

In the context of her project, Pip chooses to delve into the investigation on her own. She initiates conversations with the victims’ relatives and acquaintances, aiming to unravel the facts. The further she ventures, the riskier it becomes for her as she strives to expose the truth.

Give it a shot if you’re captivated by teen dramas, detective mysteries, or have an affinity for the original book.

One Man’s Opinion of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder

Initially piqued by its release, I found myself intrigued by this short six-episode series, each episode lasting approximately 45-50 minutes, making for a quick and easy watch. Given that it’s an adaptation from a book, I expected the storyline to be well-structured and engaging. What truly caught my attention, however, was its genre and premise – reminiscent of the captivating “Veronica Mars”, which revolved around an American teenager investigating a friend’s murder. This new series seemed to share some similarities, igniting my curiosity about how it would unfold.

It turns out that it functions quite effectively. I found Myers captivating as the main character, and I appreciate the fundamental concept. While some of the other characters haven’t yet distinguished themselves after two episodes, I’m intrigued by the idea and the lead actor enough to want to know how the mystery resolves. The series also skillfully incorporates a twist and cliffhanger at the end of each episode, leaving me eager to see what unfolds next.

The program flows smoothly and it doesn’t require much time investment. Given how hectic the closing days of summer are, this brief, engaging series makes an ideal escape as you eagerly anticipate the upcoming Olympic medal events.
