What to Expect

PremiereLens read

A crime novelist who treats murder as raw material and her chaotic assistant make for an unlikely investigative pair, and the show plays that contrast for both laughs and plot momentum. The tone leans dark comedy rather than procedural tension, with wit doing most of the heavy lifting across the investigation.

Laure pursues the truth about Yves Cayatte's death not out of justice but out of professional appetite, which gives her a refreshingly cynical edge. The victim was universally despised, his Corsican villa full of family members who each had reason to want him gone, and working through that closed circle of suspects keeps the mystery tightly wound without ever losing the dry humor that runs through the whole thing.

Official Premise

Laure Mondo's specialty is the perfect crime. A successful novelist, perched on dizzying heels, Laure cultivates her mystery and deadly humor. The complete opposite of his assistant: Pica. Messy hair, loud laughter, colorful t-shirts, she is struggling to satisfy her whimsical boss. This mismatched duo will, however, be confronted with their first investigation: Yves Cayatte, boss of an international luxury group, is found dead in the swimming pool of his sumptuous Corsican villa. The police conclude it was an accident. But Laure doesn't believe it. Yves was a monster and everyone in his family wanted him dead. Sniffing the material for her next novel, she is determined to discover the truth, helped by the turbulent Pica.

Only Murders in the Building

Hulu • Sep 9, 2025
ComedyMystery

In New York City, three strangers who live in the same apartment building and are obsessed with solving crimes must work together to solve real murders that have happened in the apartment building. Together, they come up with many ways to solve the cases.

Why this pick

Only Murders in the Building matches Un meurtre (presque) parfait with a whodunit that runs on character chemistry and sharp humor under pressure. In a cozy building full of secrets, the amateur sleuthing and escalating deceptions keep tension humming while the jokes land, warmer and more neighborly than the Corsican chill.

Ms. X

Three • Jun 30, 2026
DramaCrime

Ms. X centres on a woman who teams up with an old high school friend to scare her cheating husband into staying faithful. However, when things turn (accidentally) homicidal, she becomes caught between the cops, the cartel, and a vicious PTA.

Why this pick

Ms. X shares Un meurtre (presque) parfait’s dark-comedy crime engine, where ordinary people get dragged into escalating trouble and keep making messes. Suburban schemes spiral into real jeopardy with multiple threats crowding the same scenes, darker and faster, with more chaotic danger than the novelist’s controlled cynicism.
