Netflix's quirky and offbeat show Murderville
On January 3, 2022, Netflix released several posters and trailers for a new television show, Murderville. According to Google reviews, the show works well among viewers with a 94% rating.
The show has various plots which keep viewers engrossed. But that's not all. Netizens are tuning in to watch the show for its unscripted comedy and guest star appearances.
Netflix uploaded a post on Twitter informing viewers about Murderville. It posted a few pictures of different scenes with a caption introducing the show's storyline.
Soon enough, netizens began tweeting and replying to the post. They expressed their excitement and suggested various celebrities who could star in future episodes of the show.
Some fans were quick to spot certain similarities between Murderville and other popular Korean and Chinese shows like Run BTS!, Busted!, and Who's The Murderer?.
BTS has some mystery-themed episodes in which the seven members improvise throughout the show as they attempt to find out “whodunit”.
Likewise, other K-pop idol groups’ variety shows have been pointed out. Another mention was SEVENTEEN's web series Going Seventeen.
Busted! is more of a "Keystone Cop" than a "Sherlock Holmes" series. It narrates a team of Korean entertainers who conjoin with some of the biggest stars in K-drama to solve various mysteries.
Each episode sees the detectives solving a case with brief appearances by famous Korean actors and comics. Still, it's all part of a comprehensive plot that unfolds throughout the series.
