you could have watched it in theaters when it was in theaters then

It was in theaters for one week in ~5 countries; the only way to watch it for the vast majority of potential viewers is on streaming, so lose the patronizing tone it makes you look dumb

it was entertaining so I watched the 1st one too

 

any recs of movies/shows like these? 

Depends on whether what aspect of the movie you resonated with.  For murder mysteries/detective stories, there's tons of shows like that basically do a different murder each week: Only Murders in the Building, Monk, Cold Case, Rizzoli & Isles, Bones, The Closer, Major Crimes, Unforgettable, Big Sky (though this one isn't always a different case a week), etc.

 

There's also the Law & Order franchise shows (SVU, Organized Crime, the original), which follow a similar weekly format but I'd say are more "cop shows" than "mysteries."

 

All these shows are pretty different, so it's really a matter of checking out an episode or two and see which ones you gravitate towards

Thank you! 

I already watched OMITB but I'll check out the rest

I loved this, Janelle was fantastic  

[Exodus]

Honestly very good until the last 5 minutes. The tantrum ending was a letdown.

 

This one felt way different than Glass Knives. It was way more chaotic like the Clue movie. Still good overall.

[DoubleRainbow!]

the first 40 minutes were so boring
it got really good just at the end

[Miles.]

This was fun.  I liked it a lot more than the first one.  

 

I also liked how it was a not-so-subtle takedown of Musk and Tate types

[Eternium]

The first one was miles better, but this was still pretty good. There were definitely moments of brilliance in the script, but it shied away from what most great whodunnits do - give clues to the killer in the very beginning.

I found this one more entertaining than the first one, but I liked them both. They remind me of the Russell Quant detective books I used to be obsessed with.

If you liked Benoit Blanc's exaggerated Southern accent, I recommend starting with The Closer.  But if what you want is another detective with much-higher-than-average perceptive and deductive skills, Monk is a good one to check out first.

 

And as a fan of music, I'd be remiss not to recommend Cold Case. It's about a detective unit that starts to specialize on cases that went cold (i.e., police ran out of leads and stopped investigating).  What's cool is that the soundtrack for each episode depends on the year/decade the murder took place.  So if they're investigating a case from 1988, the songs in the background are from that year (or the late 1980s).  It's one of my faves from this genre for this reason

Typical American thinking that the States is the only country that exists in the world

[Life Savers]

It was alright. It didn't have the magic of the first one for me, but I did enjoy that the whole cast seemed to have a blast filming this.

It was okay… it was kind of a letdown after the plot twist reveal though. First one was so iconic to me so this was a choice. 

[James_Dean]

This was awful compared to the first one 

[Bad_vocal_technique]

Not my type of movie 

[Auraeolux]

Did a marathon of Knives out and this so the dip in quality was especially striking. I get that it's mainly supposed to be fun, but the writing felt much more dumbed down and the characterizations felt too satirical.

[stevenisFADING]

This one was ok. The first was better.

[its_britney_bitch]

The ending is so dumb. It’s… sort of entertaining but it’s not a good movie, and I feel like most of the humour would go over the heads of anybody who doesn’t live on Twitter. Way too ham-fisted on the billionaires-are-bad “message” and way too light on the murder mystery… seriously, zero deaths until about 70 minutes into the film!
 

If you liked Knives Out, watch See How They Run instead of this
