Taste-matched follow-ups

Why this fits: Un meurtre (presque) parfait delivers deadpan, dark-comedy mystery energy where people treat murder like material and still have to work together under pressure.

Why this fits: The 'Burbs turns a leisure-like neighborhood setup into a slow-burn mystery where secrets and betrayal curdle into real unease.
