We know the body convulsing on the floor of the grand foyer isn't really being electrocuted. And yet we get sucked into the suspense and the gore as the players express fear, anxiety and tearful protests against being the next to die. ABC's amalgam of drama, murder mystery, parlor game and elimination competition for money is a curious mishmash.
Maybe this will prove to be a bit more interesting as the contestants dwindle. But based on Sunday night’s premiere, that seems like a long slog toward the show’s eventual payoff.
I love this show! I live in the UK and managed to check it out online. It's so entertaining and has a great concept. I do enjoy how creative the murders and riddles get. I also really love the character 'Giles'. I hope to see more in the future!
The most interesting and the best TV show currently being aired. It is an important event on my Sunday night to watch "Whodunnit". I hope it gets renewed for a second season.
Though Whodunnit? wants to give ordinary people the ability to step up and use their brains to solve a crime, the results (as of the first episode) are either painful or unintentionally funny.
Whodunnit? asks its contestants to become actors when they are chosen to be killed off, which gives this show a cheesy vibe that's accentuated by contestants screaming at the top of their lungs when they find a body that they obviously know is just someone playing dead. Add in pacing problems and reality show cliches and Whodunnit? may prompt a big "Who cares?" from discerning viewers.
The cast seems no better, or worse, than any reality TV assemblage, but the clues are delivered to the group in such a way that much of the pilot is spent watching them troop, mostly en masse, from one room to the other. It's not terribly exciting.
The problem with shows like this is that even if the game is diverting, it's all so patently phony that it's hard to muster up much of a rooting interest in who solves or even wins the game.
Ironically the critics thought that the viewers wouldn't like this show, yet almost all metacritic user reviews came back positive. Great show and I highly enjoyed watching every bit of it and I really hope they bring this show back.
It's clearly that a few of the cast members are actors, Not very good ones mind you. It is an interesting show though and I can't wait to see how it plays out.
It is proabably the most stupid fun you can have with a TV show. Yes it's stupid, but in a good way. It's kinda of cathartic to watch people kill each other for 13 episodes. It's not a must watch, but it isn't bad.
Such a numbing an truly terrible show. It takes what could be a good idea and totally ruins it; if it were tongue-in-cheek or just funny in any way it could be good. Instead everyone acts serious like they're actually going to die and the acting is just painfully atrocious. Everything that happens is unintentionally hilarious: plot points, acting, writing, the reveals of how people die, and more. I watched it for about the first six episodes but then I just gave up because it was basically like watching paint dry, if the paint were somehow drying in a way that made you angry. I did, however, find out the end episode and it's just beyond stupid. I'm at a loss for words.
This show was really bad, wasted my time and watched all the episodes! Time I cannot retrieve. ABC please revamp the show or cancel it. By the way Lindsey should have won.
