Closest matches first, then broader nearby picks.
Why this fits: The fun of If It's Tuesday, It's Murder comes from amateur sleuths turning awkward group dynamics into clues, and Only Murders in the Building has that same comic mystery appeal. Its mismatched neighbors trade theories and jokes while real danger keeps their cozy building from feeling entirely safe.
Why this fits: If It's Tuesday, It's Murder makes the awkwardness of amateur sleuthing part of the fun, and Un meurtre (presque) parfait brings a sharper, darker version of that comic friction. A deadpan novelist and her chaotic partner chase clues amid a family full of suspects, with wit taking precedence over procedural detail.
Why this fits: The group suspicion in If It's Tuesday, It's Murder makes ordinary social encounters funny and tense, a pleasure The 'Burbs finds in suburban neighborly life. Its cul-de-sac secrets turn casual curiosity into unease, making the comedy darker and the danger closer to home.
If It's Tuesday, It's Murder makes mystery a source of comedy; A Man on the Inside brings that appeal to a cozy crime story about an older outsider.

The comedy and mystery in If It's Tuesday, It's Murder make room for Beyond Paradise's gentle crime comedy and cozy community mysteries. An awkward detective and romantic partnership drama give its cases a more intimate, relationship-centered focus.
