The Thursday Murder Club [Netflix - Out now]

[Benjamin]

Not sure if anyone has read the books (you should). Netflix have adapted them to a show.

The casting looks great too!

And yeah, it’s a film. I thought they’d make it a series.

[AnnieK]

Oh, excited for this. I've read the books and really enjoyed them. Be interesting to see the characters and if they fit how I imagined them

My review

I was actually pretty underwhelmed by it. On paper the cast are great and this should have been brilliant. But it really wasn’t.

Too much was cut from the books, and it all felt very slow paced but at the same time really rushed the story by cutting major parts from the book.

They should have made it a series, not a film.

Oh no

[Benjamin]

Oh no

Like it wasn’t the worst, but if you’ve read the books it’s nowhere near as good. They haven’t done it justice in my opinion.

Yeah, just the first book.

…I haven’t read the book…but I thought that the movie was cozy/sweet…the cast are all very engaging …it felt very much as though it would lead nicely into a series but didn’t really get much beyond a ‘cozy afternoon movie’ with a charming cast…nice, though…sometimes that’s all you need a movie to be…

[Crimson Dynamo]

I read the books and my rule is never to watch any tv series or film of books i have enjoyed, hence why i have never seen a harry potter film or LOTR.

My only exception was The Shining

[Crimson Dynamo]

Oh and American Psycho

[Crimson Dynamo]

and all the Dragon Tattoo books
