Come for the mystery, stay for Meyers’ lovely portrayal of Pip’s growing pains. Go to Full Review
Nadira Goffe Slate 08/28/2024
Despite the few underwritten or all-too-convenient parts, the show is a surprisingly well-balanced cocktail of the common woes of adolescence with the considerably less common hurdles of solving a crime. Go to Full Review

Saskia I @nobodiessaskia 5d Enttäuschend, so stark Myers auch spielt. Die Serie besteht gefühlt aus gesenkten Blicken, bedeutungsschweren Pausen und endlosen Szenen, in denen Sätze mit „Ich muss dir noch etwas sagen …" beginnen. Die deutsche Synchronfassung macht es nicht besser: Pip spricht fast ausschliesslich in Hauchen und Seufzern, ständig wird geweint – was die Figur völlig entkräftet. Statt einer neugierigen, analytischen Protagonistin fragt man sich permanent, warum Pippa sich das alles überhaupt antut. Besonders störend ist die Darstellung von Ravi. In der Serie darf er sich toxische Sprüche wie „Du bist klüger, als du aussiehst" erlauben, die Pip dann auch noch als Kompliment auffasst. Dass dieses Verhalten weder kritisch gebrochen noch klar problematisiert wird, wirkt aus der Zeit gefallen – willkommen bei der nächsten Generation von Pick-me-Girls. Das Buch ist spannender, klüger und in jeder Hinsicht mindestens hundertmal besser. See more Peter F Dec 31 A truly fine cast and skilled cinematography is being dragged down by poor writing, uneven pacing (at times quite the boredom...), an utterly ridiculous story, and characters that make obviously nonsensical decisions all the time. The detective does not find out anything by herself but just goes asking people, who sooner or later tell her their dark secrets without any understandable motive. It screams that WAY more time should have gone into developing the plot and the characters here. Instead, there are ever more unlikely twists, just for the sake of having twists, even if they make no sense whatsoever. And yet... the cast - most of all an astounding Emma Myers in the lead role - make it somehow work. Don't view it as a crime story but as a coming of age movie. See more Jason C @jkonar Oct 1 Very good show and it's all good the murder mystery was really good. See more Andrei S @Rumanking Sep 12 I love a lot this serie, it was very unexpected, the only things that are bad, at least for me, is that it pises me of that Emma literaly brakes in every house, no one sees her and also that she drinks from a stranger who literaly killed her sister. There are some stupid things. Emma did absolutley amazing showing her acting skills and I kinda liked prety much the characters. Althought the hate of some scenes I liked this serie and I hope we can get a next season. See more Andro B @Andro155 Sep 11 Its really good and acting is on point. Episodes were good but sometimes a little boring but all of the episodes deserve at least 7.5/10 or 8/10. See more Maria G Aug 31 Emma Myers British accent is so bad that it’s painful to watch. I think she knew that it was bad, so it seems like she’s focusing intensely on it and she speaks very meekly, making her performance a flop. Her lack of confidence with the British accent also means that her character has zero personality! See more Read all reviews
