Very silly and funny movie if you need a good laugh. Seeing well known actors taking on sophomoric parts only increased the comedic value and made this a delightful ride. If you want well meaningful plots instead sheer hilarity, this isn't for you, otherwise... enjoy!

If you watch this series expecting a "SERIOUS" murder mystery, you will not enjoy it. However, once you realize the series is a spoof of the murder mystery genre and do not take it seriously, it turns into an enjoyable, addictive ride with unending, utterly absurd twists and turns. This parallels old classics like 'Police Squad' and 'Airplane,' but the humor is much more subdued, and if you take it seriously, you will not get it. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride because it's funny and absolutely ridiculous.

This shtick might have been accurate 40-50 years ago, but NYC isn't the gloom & doom of the 70-80's anymore, Fran seems so enamored with in 2020. Fran seems desperate to press jaded perceptions for a 'comedy' routine, which comes off desperate rather than humorous. NYC is far from perfect, but newsflash, everywhere has elements of suck, and there is no utopia. Fran is not funny, no matter how hard or frequently Scorsese laughs, but comedy is not his forte. I wonder if he is this easily amused for everything, or if he senses how ordinary her commentary really is, and needs to elevate the humor perception to get viewers to bite without critical thought, because we are all so in need of humor these days. I managed to get through 1.15 episodes, which is remarkable, because it didn't take long before the frumplestinkstein routine got old, fast.

Really wonderful, well thought out and executed story line. Easy binge!
