Netflix's A Good Girl's Guide to Murder is a delightful YA mystery that makes great use of its shortened runtime.
of TV regularly irritating audiences from all walks of life, but the BBC and Netflix have finally given us a show that has absolutely nailed the microseries format.is based on the young adult mystery novel of the same name—specifically, the UK edition of the book—and follows Pip Fitz-Amobi as she looks into the disappearance of Andie Bell and the subsequent suicide of her boyfriend, Sal Singh that occured 5 years before.
It is rare that a series is so casually well-rounded. Myers’ performance gives Pip a multitude of layers, from happy-go-lucky to afraid and massively out of her depth. Pip’s ensemble of friends are a believably active part of the story without overwhelming the center thread of Pip trying to find the truth.
Despite there being so many people at play, Pip never feels like she is being sidelined in her own show. Her motivations are not out of simple curiosity—Pip saw Andie and Sal the day before Andie’s disappearance and has struggled with thinking that Sal was too kind of a person to ever kill someone, and feeling like her interaction with the pair that day could have lead to Andie’s presumed death.
The series excels where other short seasons astronomically fail, and locks you in with solid narrative pacing. In recent years, screenwriters have struggled to get the flow of these compact shows right. Marvel can’t manage it, Star Wars has a 50/50 chance of swinging and not missing, butmoves at a breakneck pace that ultimately holds the show together.
