"The greatest murder ever staged."
In the West End of 1950s London, plans for a movie version of a smash-hit play come to an abrupt halt after a pivotal member of the crew is murdered. When world-weary Inspector Stoppard and eager rookie Constable Stalker take on the case, the two find themselves thrown into a puzzling whodunit within the glamorously sordid theater underground, investigating the mysterious homicide at their own peril.
What viewers say
Viewers enjoy this 1950s London whodunit for its cheerful humor, an ensemble cast led by two charming leads, handsome sets and a twist ending some did not see coming. Fans of classic Christie-style mysteries like the affectionate homage. Criticism is that it feels familiar and derivative, the plotting can scatter and start slowly, the self-aware meta jokes grate on some, and a few viewers feel a big-name supporting actor is underused. Overall opinion is mixed to mildly positive, with critics somewhat warmer than audiences.
Best for: Viewers who want a light, jokey, old-fashioned murder mystery and don't need it to be original.
