Women Talkin' 'Bout Murder

From Audacy and Paper Kite, Women Talkin' 'Bout Murder stars comedians Jessica St. Clair, Lennon Parham, and June Diane Raphael as three wine-drinking, mystery-loving friends who gather around the fire pit to trade stories about real crimes. The conceit is basically true crime filtered through a book club that has completely given up on reading the actual book. They share the facts, they speculate wildly, they go off on tangents about their kids and their marriages, and then they usually come back to the case just in time to draw a reasonable conclusion. If you are a purist who wants only forensic detail, this is not your show. If you want true crime with real jokes and the warmth of a long friendship, it is a great pick. The chemistry between the three hosts has been built over years of working together on TV, and it shows. Episodes are roughly an hour, cases range from famous headline names to more obscure stories, and they are careful about tone when the subject matter calls for it.
