pmcdeee I'm not a fan of giving these type of celebrities anymore airtime than they deserve, however, I do think this works well. I love the film noir styling, the concept of the show is great, ad lib to a certain degree makes the comedy genuine and you can't help but laugh. It's off the wall approach is fresh a mix of mighty boosh meets sin city... The lead guy (Sleet played by Tommy Davis) is great in his role an obscure giant of a character that keeps the celebs ticking along the process. The celebrity impersonations aren't great but I'm sure it's intentionally rough to keep it edgy. There is also the element of who done it, I know the plots are very random but it's still another element of intrigue and keeps you guessing. I would like to know how informed the celebs actually are, I do hope they are as in the dark as is made out. I'm hooked and hope it continues for a third series.

The_Critical_Eye This show is all about the concept - putting an unsuspecting TV celeb in the position of solving a murder mystery. Throw in exaggerated character impersonations, a bit of humour, a touch of awkwardness, a bit of improv (this is where it really comes to life), and great end credit songs, and you've got a gem.Rarely do I feel the need to watch something twice when it comes out, but this programme has that affect as it is full of nuances and little bits of information that are good for a second viewing.DI Sleet, the chief (Gordon Ramsay) and Ciarad Lloyd deserve special mention, though the celebs each play their part.It's nice to see something different from the usual panel show/sitcom based comedy. Hopefully there's more to come.

mikeydoris 'Murder in Successville', an interesting, original idea, to take a new "celebrity" each week and throw them into a staged murder mystery as a police detective. The show has a very quirky, odd, sense of humor, I felt being similarly to that of 'The Mighty Boosh' with both having the confusing yet intriguing jokes that leave you giggling, either because of the sheer stupidity of the situation/line or the hidden truth and intelligence behind the joke as it is and the uncomfortable cringing.The show felt to me slow at first as the first episode seemed a little off despite having that charm I so much enjoyed later on but as episode two rolled around I thought why not give it a try and it had me genuinely laughing at the jokes and left me wanting more as the credits rolled.One complaint I can see people having is the use of lesser known "celebrities" as the show calls them. This doesn't bother me and actually makes me more interested in the show, as it does have the pop culture references in the form of the characters being portrayed but without the overwhelming presence of some of the better known celebrities, as I can see those kinds of people taking the center stage to appeal to a wider audience and therefore killing lots of the charm in the show itself.I have seen a lot of negativity surrounding this show and I have read what is being said, I'm not going to repeat criticisms but I will say this show really seems to appeal to a small group of people which is why it is hated on but I think this is a smart, funny show with a great deal of potential to be loved by many, I just think people need to open their mind a little to something different.

Prismark10 Murder in Successville is a silly mish mash of genres whose success depends on how much effort the celebrity of the week makes an effort to fit in and do some detective work.Somehow each week a real celebrity is introduced as a new recruit at a police station where he is paired with hard boiled DI Sleet and investigate a murder of a celebrity. Last week it was Bruno Tonioli and this week it was Reese Witherspoon.During the course of their investigations they come across celebrity crime scene investigators (Taylor Swift for example) and celebrity suspects. Last week we had the Carr twins (Alan and James Carr.) This week Gary Barlow was among the suspects.There are shades of Stella Street here where we had celebrities living in an ordinary street and it was noticeable that Phil Cornwall was a celebrity impersonator here as well.It is ridiculous and its more enjoyable if you know the C list celebrity of the week. There are actual clues when various suspects are questioned and it is up to the celebrity to call the suspect and we find out whether they are correct.There is a lot of corpsing as DI Sleet put them in an absurd situation or the suspects make them do silly things. The giggles add a lot to the fun but it is also haphazard as well.
