Still enjoying this cosy murder mystery show! Surprising fun and upbeat, despite all the murder. I like how the show is leaning into the friendships between the main quartet, and Alexa grudgingly opening up her guarded heart. (When Madison was making noises about looking for her own place to live, Alexa finally admitted she didn't want her to move out! Aww.)
It occurs to me that each episode starts with Alexa meeting Harry for a briefing on the case, instead of the common trope of a cold open where the victim gets killed. Which I guess is useful for not revealing key details of what actually happened. But I also appreciate that it feels less cheap and sensational.
I particularly liked the two part season finale, "The Widows' Club".
* The country club is so old-fashioned, they don't allow women to join as members, only as associates tagging along with their husbands. So Alexa does the "go undercover as a couple" thing - with her brother Will! Though it seems like they only stick with the ruse for five minutes, before introducing each other with their real relationship.
* We finally get the full backstory on Alexa's late husband Gary, when Alexa unexpectedly meets the man responsible for his death. And then when he suddenly turns up murdered, she becomes the prime suspect! Love seeing how Alexa and Harry and everyone else have to negotiate this situation, when she's on the other side.
It's been renewed for a Season 5!
