‘THE SUNSHINE MURDERS’ A FIRST IMPRESSION REVIEW: ONE COZY MYSTERY ☀️ Review of the new U.S. debut from #UPtv! Have you seen this one? Share on X
While there is no denying, this show is super cute and entertaining, I think it could have used a tiny bit of polish in its production. This said, again, The Sunshine Murders does entertain. Set in Greece, we meet Helen first, a woman trying to balance a very busy life and keep her teenage daughter on track even as her ex makes things (sometimes) difficult.
UPtv is where this dramedy is making its U.S. broadcast premiere. It’s also a show known as The Moustakas Sisters Mystery, and is something, for the most part, that is indeed a good time. Based on the two-part broadcast premiere, this show is heavily leaning into the “cozy” genre and if you enjoy things like The Spencer Sisters or just anything you find on UPtv, well then you should enjoy The Sunshine Murders. It’s full of lots of quirky characters and of course sunshine, too!
Make sure to check out the new 10-episode mystery season if you are a fan of the peer genre titles.
Episodes one and two aired tonight on UPtv; watch for weekly episode airings on Thursday nights
