What do you think? Have you seen My Life is Murder? Will you watch season two on Acorn TV?
Just finished Season 1 of MLIM and anxiously await the return of characters that have become like having drinks with old friends! Such a great show! It’s hard to find intelligent shows these days. As an American, I have to look to other countries for smart entertainment. Cleverly written and beautifully acted, this show wouldn’t last on American TV. No one would get it! Thankfully, it’s being renewed and I can get my challenging crime show fix back on. Can’t wait!!
Season 2 of MLIM is going to run on Acorn. Splendid. Very enjoyable show. Have spent the last four years enduring the Trump Administration and I’m more than ready for detective dramedy.
Thank you, I believe most adults are getting tired of the filth, playing all over parts of the world,there is another super show that was filmed in New Zealand,THE BROKENWOOD MYSTERIES.
To bad you couldn’t combine these to together, how smashing would that be, she could help catch the bad guy’s that run to other towns, and have Alexa and her side kick, help Neill Rea, Fern Sutherland,and Nic, Sampsen,come get them as did, Kieren ( Bernard Curry) with Alexa. What a hit you would have if you played it right.
Yes – I love the show!!
LOVE this show! Can’t wait for season 2.
Will be sooo glad when this series returns.
Loved the first season can’t wait for season two
Can’t wait. Huge Lawless fan. Subscribed to Acorn just for MLIM, got hooked on many of their offerings.
Love this show
Yes, will definitely watch another season. Just hoping they keep the series light and don’t fall into the trap of story lines with bad guys that last across multiple episodes.
Delighted & cannot wait!
Absolutely yes! Will watch. Love the cast and the stories. Very happy season 2 is in production!
Love the ensemble cast! Truly enjoyed the storylines. Must also admit, I have enjoyed the quiet intrigue of Alexa Wolfe’s past. Well acted, directed, and written. Kudos to the casting director 🙂 Thank you for a season 2!!
Glad there will be a season 2
Yes most definitely I’ll watch season 2 of My Life is Murder on Acorn
