Murder, She Wrote Audience Reviews

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Kirpianuscus For me, it was the first bite from the detective series. in the sense than the other films/series, adaptations of novels by Agatha Christie or Georges Simenon or propositions of smart, cold, ironic men were not boring but too far for me, at the early ages. and the love for Jessica Fletcher remains fresh today, after decades . because the mix of lovely old woman, almost a sort of good fairy and many , many cases, the universe of a writer, her friends, the danger against here, the humor and the deductions are pieces of a seductive portrait. it remains more than a good serie. or a legendary one. but one of lovely memories about the great and admirable art of Angela Lansburry.
OllieSuave-007 This is one of the all-time best mystery dramas, starring Angela Lansbury as crime novelist Jessica Fletcher, who takes on an amateur sleuth role and helps the local authorities crack crimes.As Jessica Fletcher, Lansbury displays charm, wit and careful thinking and execution while trying to solve each crime, keeping the TV series suspenseful and surprising from start to finish. The entire atmosphere gives the show a really good classic murder-mystery vibe.The episodes were written with much intrigue, details and entice, with a well-acted cast of characters and guest stars to boot. The opening scene of Jessica typing away on her typewriter/computer with the piano score in the background represents just the right mood for this type of series. I also especially liked the flashback of what really took place at the crime scene toward the end of each episode.Definitely one of the best shows of the 80s and 90s! Grade A
buckikris I love Murder She Wrote, I remember watching it every week, a very successful series from 1984-1996. I was young when the series started in 84. I was still in elementary school, but when I saw the first episode I was hooked. A professional author by trade, Jessica Fletcher( Angela Landsbury); helps the authorities out by helping solve cases. Her knowledge of crime comes from her experience as a mystery writer. I have to say the series gets better as the years go by. Yes, I admit some of the episodes I could hardly get though; but most of them are awesome. I am probably one of the few that loved her episodes that involved her traveling to various places. They were more interesting, and included some stars that would go on to bigger and better things. I was so involved, I would find myself trying to find out who committed the crime. I would get some, because of the slip ups by the characters; but others would keep you guessing to the end. I loved this series so much it got me to take an interest in the Criminal Justice profession. I also had some help from other shows like Hunter. A great series that has stood the test of time, I still love watching it today. I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves detective series or just great T.V.. If interested in buying any of the series by year check out EBay or Amazon.
BigWhiskers Thanks to Netflix , I've been rediscovering Murder She Wrote and it still remains an entertaining show with Mrs Lansbury at her best as the murder mystery writer and sleuth who in about every episode gets in the middle of a murder and in the end does her best Sherlock Holmes to reconstruct the crime and solve it all in under an hour. Some of the episodes do lack decent acting even from the more well known guest stars who tend to overact as if trying to steal some of Lansburys thunder which she never relinquishes, this is her show after all. I was never a really big fan of the show but do like Angela Lansbury who manages to keep even the more boring episodes of the series watchable. One of my pet peeves though is when she goes out of town for one reason or another that they never actually shoot on location in the city or town she is supposed to be in - there will be exterior footage of the actual location thrown in but when the actors are on screen we all know it's some Hollywood back-lot or sound stage made up to look like a certain city street or other location including the interiors - and what's also a goof is some of the exterior footage of actual locations are associated with certain places she supposedly goes into like hotels.clubs or restaurants when the building shown is quite obviously not that type of place. Like in one episode she goes to a fictitious Jazz Club in New Orleans yet the exterior shot shown is of a hotel that I am quite familiar with - OK its a fictional show but still they could have tried to at least get that right sometimes. Overall a very enjoyable show with Mrs Lansbury always a pleasure to watch. I'm wondering if at 86yrs old she is still game to do another Murder She Wrote movie.
