What to Know

Critics Consensus

Murderville's improvisational premise can lead to stretches of dead air, but the moments of spontaneous inspiration are worthwhile -- and it helps to have Will Arnett on the case.

B-
Arnett is undeniably funny and the writing in the non-improvised aspects of the show can be clever enough. Keep it up and find the right people who are willing to play this TV game, and this show could really kill. Go to Full Review Nina Metz Chicago Tribune 02/16/2022

I like the willingness to experiment and this is such a fun idea (it’s based on the BBC series “Murder in Successville”) but the results are hit and miss. Go to Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 02/07/2022
Will Arnett and a rotating roster of celebrity guests provide some decent chuckles, but this improv-based police-procedural spoof doesn’t give its guests enough space to get on a real roll. Go to Full Review Rachel Ho Exclaim! 03/25/2022
6/10
Murderville is distinctly Hollywood and American, for better and for worse. Go to Full Review Kevin Carr Fat Guys at the Movies 03/12/2022
4/4
The best part about it is the action and reaction of people as they're doing absurd things, driven by Will Arnett who is completely over the top. Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media 03/02/2022
4/5
All in all, Murderville is extremely silly, occasionally wince-inducing, and at times comically inspired. Arnett fans in particular will enjoy it as he's in every scene, and those with a predilection for offbeat comedy will, too. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Chas R. @Chazyz Jan 13 Loved the improv aspect of the show and the guest stars really added a fun element to the story. I hope we can get more in the future.

See more Corey W 02/15/2023 Murderville works in large part due to Will Arnett's signature goofiness forged over years of comedic acting. His guest stars all add their own flair, to varying effect, and while some bits meander as the improvisational format demands the scenes change quickly enough that it's almost always forgiven. Murderville's addictive premise makes for a damn good time. See more Patrick F 02/03/2023 I really liked this show. It's unlike anything I have seen before. It's a spoof of cop dramas but also in a way a spoof of cop drama spoofs. The format was great with a different celebrity guest each week. I thought it was original and funny. Just all around silly irreverence. Worth a watch. See more dave d 12/25/2022 Murderville is like something you'd see at a small dinner theater. A little goes a long way, but Will Arnett and a strong guest cast make this bingeable and watchable. It's empty calories, but it's a fun and at times uproarious. See more Dave C 12/17/2022 There's an edge to it, with the willingness of the unscripted celebrities making it either mediocre or really enjoyable. The dry humour and reactions of Arnett help See more Read all reviews
