My Husband Made Me Watch This Bonkers Murder Mystery Series and Now I Can't Stop Bingeing

The series does a great job of weaving comedic and dramatic storylines together and it features some pretty stellar performances.

Ortiz (who you might recognize from Ugly Betty) is the perfect straight man to the, shall we say, wackier characters. Susan Lucci (yes, the Susan Lucci) is fabulous as a sweet but totally out-of-touch millionaire. And Judy Reyes (who I absolutely loved in Scrubs and Claws) brings just the right amount of humor and sass as Lucci's maid-slash-best friend.

The plotlines are a bit ridiculous, but as I said, they're fun. Aside from the murder storyline, one maid is sleeping with her married employer. Another is trying to trick her superstar boss into helping her music career. And another is trying to prevent her daughter (also a maid) from falling head over heels for the rich boss's son. There's a lot going on but, unlike a regular soap opera, the action moves fast, providing twists and cliffhangers in every episode.

So while I hate to admit it, I do owe my partner a begrudging "thank you" for this recommendation. It's the ideal show for kicking my feet up, turning my brain off and unwinding after the work day. And if my current binge rate keeps up, I'll be finished with it very very soon.
