Our take
Retirees investigate cold cases at their English retirement village in this M Netflix mystery. Murder talk, autopsy references, wine at social gatherings, mild profanity, knives, dismemberment references and gambling debts all figure in. Fine for tweens and teens who enjoy light mystery.
Uplifting themes
Friendship, curiosity and using retirement years for good
Story (may spoil tone)
A group of senior sleuths passionate about solving cold cases get plunged into a real-life murder mystery in this comic crime caper.
