I personally thought this show was brilliant. A good mix of mystery and comedy. Which is right up my street. I love 'only murders in the building' so I was excited when I saw this recommendation for me on Netflix within a similar genre. I wouldn't say it's particularly clever or anything but really easy watching. And, to me, laugh out loud funny. And I really fell in love with all the characters.

All the negative reviews (not that there seems to be many) seemed to be comparing the show to 'monk'. A previous show by the same creator I believe. Having never seen 'monk', I knew that wouldn't be a problem for me so I decided to give it a go. And I'm so pleased I did. Further proof, that you should always make your mind up for yourself. Never trust someone else's opinion unless they know what you like and what you don't. After all, everyone has different tastes.

To be clear, I'm not having a dig at anyone who left a negative review. I mean, I personally wouldn't waste any more time on a show that I didn't enjoy but that's just me. But if you were to get all your friends together and discuss whether a tv show or film is good or not, how many times do you think you'd all be in agreement? This kind of stuff is subjective. That's the point I'm trying to make. The best advice I could give to someone, is take a leaf out of Tarentino's book and watch everything you can and with an open mind.

Ffs you can't win these days. If you do something the same, people kick off. If you change things, people kick off. If you're going to watch a series or movie based on anime, books, previous films and TV shows etc, best thing to do is to not think of the source while watching.

If all you're gonna do is compare and complain that it's just the same or that it's too different. Then why even bother watching.

And yeah it is rather corny. However, I've a feeling it's supposed to be. I think you'd have to be a complete and utter moron to think otherwise. The cheesy goofball style kinda reminds me of Scott pilgrim. Which I loved. I would recommend this to anyone with a sense of humour, who also has the mental capacity to separate this version from the original.

If you're expecting some cinematic masterpiece then it's probably not the movie for you. It's just a straight up action movie. And I don't know what other reviewers expected but action movies are generally very predictable so why would this one be any different.

At the end of the day it kept me entertained from start to finish. Two great lead characters with a cute but twisted relationship and an appearance from one of my favourite actors of all time woody Harrelson (so underrated). What more could I ask for?

I think it's about time these amateur critics give themselves a shake and do something better with their lives. For real. It's getting sad. If you're paid to critique stuff, fair enough. But these people aren't. Just hang up your keyboards and jog on. Then I won't feel the need to write positive reviews about the films I like just to tell people that they're not as bad as what others are saying.
