A Good Girl's Guide to Murder

So many scenes were exactly like I imagined them while reading(ignoring the things they changed) and the amount of foreshadowing to book 3 was crazy
Fuck Max Hastings btw

I’ve read the books I already love this don’t even need to see it

7.5/10
first thing I have to say is, you'll love the show if you didn’t read the books- the acting is great for some characters, but some of them fall short
emma did a fantastic job and it wasn’t my first time watching a show she starred in, but I just don’t understand why they would hire an american actress for a british show? I could tell right away that emma slipped up a bunch of times with an american accent

I was disappointed with the significant differences between the show and the books- certain characters didn’t make it to the show, and some character dynamics were portrayed quite differently? I understand that changes are sometimes necessary for tv adaptations but these changes didn’t seem to enhance the story!!

I could go on about the differences but I’ll stop here
I did find it surprising how easily things seemed to go for the main character, with everyone being so forthcoming with information?? In the books, it felt like you were solving the mystery along with the protagonist, but in the show, it felt more like watching her jump to conclusions and have mental breakdowns when things didn’t go her way ,,,,,
there were also some plot elements introduced that didn’t seem to be fully developed which felt unnecessary :p

would I recommend this show? yes.
would I rewatch it? not really.

I just felt like the show were missing a lot if important components to make a good show. The acting was a bit off. Pip didn’t really investigate. The storyline was good though just badly made.

7/10

Twist and turns galore. Pacing can be a little slow at times. Story can be a little hard to follow. Some characters are annoying. However, this is a well done take on a “Whodunit” mystery. It kept me thinking and wanting to watch more. I’d recommend it.
