Скачать или смотреть Thursday Murder Club: What to Expect & Its Biggest Problem

Is Netflix’s next cozy whodunit the start of a new franchise? Here’s what The Thursday Murder Club gets right—and what has fans nervous.

The Thursday Murder Club: What to Expect on Netflix. The Thursday Murder Club: What to Expect on Netflix—tone, cast, and the one big adaptation question fans keep asking.

Based on Richard Osman’s bestseller, this Netflix film leans into true-crime fandom and British wit as four retirees—Elizabeth, Ron, Ibrahim, and Joyce—trade hobby sleuthing for a real case. We break down the breezy “cozy mystery” vibe, how it compares to Only Murders in the Building, and why the UK setting and humor make it feel distinctly its own. Plus: a stacked cast led by Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley, and Celia Imrie, with Chris Columbus returning to book-to-screen territory.

We also tackle the debate: with four novels and character-driven cliffhangers, is a limited series the smarter play—or can a film kick off a durable mystery franchise? Get our spoiler-free take, highlights from the first look, and where this could go next.
