Alexa Crowe, a complex and confident ex-homicide detective, solves crimes in the Aussie murder-mystery series with generous doses of comedy. Fearless, she acts on instinct, demonstrating both empathy and blunt rudeness. Other than the fact that her husband died a few years ago, few people know much about Alexa or why she left the force. When former colleague and logntime friend Detective Inspector Kieran Hussey asks her to consult on his trickier cases, she seems reluctant. But in truth, she can't resist.

Despite such structural and aesthetic issues, it's easy to see why Murder is a compelling watch for many.

It's an enjoyable show, but on this early evidence it feels a little lightweight.

Rated: 3/5

My Life Is Murder is a show that's fun and light entertainment, enhanced by well-written mysteries and performances that don't take themselves seriously.

Diane M I was fiddling around trying to find a good mystery and found My Life is Murder. My lucky day. I absolutely love this show. The mysteries are clever and the leading characters are flawless. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/19/24 Full Review Nancy M I was not a fan of Xena Warrior Princess because I don't care for the genre but Lucy Lawless is such a revelation in this show. It's smartly written, hilarious at times and as entertaining a show as I've seen in years. The chemistry between the leads is undeniable. The show also integrates the beauty of Lawless's hometown of Auckland, New Zealand in Seasons 2-4 after moving from Melbourne, Australia due to the pandemic. There is some terrific music from New Zealand bands, including Split Enz. And there are cats! LOL. I highly recommend this show. It will leave you smiling at the very least and Lawless's Alexa Crowe has the best one-liners. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review John-Richard M Love this show, and Lucy Lawless is great in this role. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review george h Great fun ! Lucy Lawless pulls off her lighthearted role with surprising aplomb. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a show that doesn't take itself too seriously. It has a strong female lead (it's Xena after all ;) ). A nice diversion with engaging story lines and a cast that seems to work well together. Not a fan of the coffee shop bicycle chap that found his way into the lead's good graces. Other than that, the story lines were comfortable enough. You can do better Alexa ! ;) Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Really enjoy this show and watch it on Acorn. Not heavy or graphic. Love the loft she lives in. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
