A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, the "twisty" whodunit billed as a "delicious binge", has jumped up the streaming chart following its release on Netflix.
The mystery thriller series, based on Holly Jackson's 2019 novel of the same name, follows Pip Fitz-Amobi (Emma Myers), an A-Level student who investigates a cold case murder after believing the initial conviction to be incorrect.
Co-starring Anna Maxwell Martin and Mathew Baynton in supporting roles, the six-part series originally aired on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer in July 2024, with all instalments now being available to view on Netflix after it was added to the streamer on Tuesday (1 July).
The series has proved to be a success with viewers, becoming the ninth most-viewed series in the UK on the streaming service on Wednesday. It fared even better on Thursday, jumping up to #7 (via FlixPatrol).
The series has also been a hit with critics, currently having an approval rating of 83% on Rotten Tomatoes from 40 reviews. The Mary Sue branded the show as a "delicious binge", while Pajiba praised the "twisty, turny" narrative as well as the "charismatic" cast.
