Mjeteconer Just perfect...

SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless

Dotbankey A lot of fun.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

jsrtheta I have sampled a lot of series. I can be easily bored, and often I will last through two or three episodes, but then start to lose interest. This is not a slam on the various series, just a quirk with me. (If I'm really going to hate something, I'll know after one episode.)This show did not follow that pattern with me, as I watched the first six in one sitting. It would be easy, at least as a Yank, to compare this to Midsomer Murders. And it wouldn't be far off to say it is a less over-the-top variation on that show. But that wouldn't be fair, as Caroline Catz and Lisa Faulkner are more believable as partners than either of the Barnabys and their various DSes. One review I saw called this show "wry," and that's a very good word for it. You won't bust out laughing very often (2-3 times per show), but you'll have a smile fixed on your face for the entire viewing.Murder in Suburbia never takes itself seriously, as one would expect, but it has a certain sophistication nonetheless. Most of all, it is compulsively watchable and as comfortable as your favorite jeans. Can't miss.

jimmullinaux This entertaining 2004 British mystery series takes place in the fictional English town of Middleford. Caroline Catz plays Inspector Kate Ashurst and Lisa Faulkner plays Sergeant Emma Scribbins, two well-dressed, wise-cracking, female detectives who must face a variety of grisly murders in the well-manicured suburban homes of Middleford, but who also are facing an unmarried middle age squarely in the mirror. The crimes they solve are clever and bizarre enough to make them interesting, and the suspects are just trendy and snobby enough that you just know they must be Mac users. Kate's romantic subplot centers on her hapless pursuit of their handsome supervisor, Chief Inspector Sullivan, played by Jeremy Sheffield. Emma's love life is a bit more varied with any number of odd sorts, all having dubious qualities. My wife and I have viewed this series many times and find something new and enjoyable with each viewing. Highly recommended!

blake-36398 We are really enjoying this series. The two main characters - Caroline Catz and Lisa Faulkner are cute and we love the banter between them. It does seem real. The crimes and the way they are solved are pretty light. Oh, there are enough suspects and during the episode we do our usual guessing, but the situation does not get so tangled up as we have seen in other series where they are constantly dropping red herrings into the mix. The episodes seem to move forward in a natural way, not like some of the things we have watched which seem to be scripted moment to moment. The only frustration part, which is the case in so many series is the amount of adulteries that go on. Is this real life - bed bingo? Oh, one of the episodes had this one character whose bosom was just so obscene looking, it almost looked like she was wearing her butt on her chest. The one episode where the blonde is dating this guy and things are just not going right for the couple is quite hilarious. We say that it is worth watching.

calvind98362 I have been devouring everything I can find in the Crime/Drama genre with special emphases on those produced in the UK. I had just finished up Trial & Retribution when I came across Murder in Suburbia.When I first began to watch the program I was expecting to see a murder/cop show. I have never been a fan of or watched the pretty boy/girl crime-fighting shows like Miami Vice or Charlie's Angels, so I didn't even consider that this was the niche that this show was going for; I was ready to slam this show without mercy for being so cutesy and sometimes, just plain silly.Then I read the review that called the show 'fun' and spoke of the silly cop genre and then it all made sense! So this is a funny little entertainment piece that won't make you worry too much about who dun-it but will charm you with its wit. It is funny and the actors seem to work well with positive chemistry.I like this show now more than I did at first; it grows on you if you don't judge too harshly, or too soon.
