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

Haarishanker P @HaariBat Jun 30 Season 1 is a gripping mystery that keeps you hooked from the very first episode. What starts as a simple school project quickly turns into a tense investigation filled with unexpected twists, hidden secrets, and emotional revelations. The pacing is excellent, with each episode revealing just enough to keep you guessing without feeling rushed. Emma Myers delivers a standout performance as Pip, bringing intelligence, determination, and vulnerability to the character. The supporting cast also does a great job of making every character feel like a possible suspect. The show's biggest strength is its ability to maintain suspense while exploring themes of truth, justice, and the consequences of making assumptions. Although a few plot points rely on coincidence, the satisfying ending and engaging storytelling make it a highly enjoyable watch. See more Shadow L @AlexKing121 Jun 14 So good! The twists were twisting See more Kelsey W. @einflukerx Jun 12 I watched this with my daughter and we were both very engaged and never expected the twist, it was great. See more Ava V @RT47926349 Jun 9 Fantastic show! So underrated! See more Brian F @Perusal Jun 7 Pip is supposed to be "brilliant" but kept making stupid decisions that put herself, her family, and her dog in danger. It was a miracle only her dog died as a result. It was beyond suspension of disbelief that she did not die when she foolishly kept provoking dangerous people for no apparent reason (usually the provoking did nothing to further her investigation). She also was incredibly lucky like with the English teacher's daughter happening to use her father's old cellphone to even figure anything out or when her friend saved her twice. You can say someone is brilliant but in her actions and words she was about a C/C- detective at best in this series.
