I love this series. It's original, laugh out loud funny, and because the guest star is genuinely expected to try to solve the mystery, that means we have a shot at doing so also. It's the perfect combination of structured and improvisational.
Unfortunately the clues are not shown clearly.
In s01e01 we're supposed to notice that an e-cigarrette is not a real cigarette, but there are no closeups to help with this.
In episodes 2, 3, and 4 we're supposed to notice an item in the room, which I'm sure was there, but but the way the scene is staged and shot, it's not shown to the viewer! No, really. I went back to each scene to check!
So that undercuts the feeling that hey maybe I should pay attention and actually try to solve the murder myself as a viewer.
Well, I'll still give 8 stars. It's excellent and such an original idea.
To me, the American version Murderville is better.
