Murderville , the latest improv series on Netflix in which Will Arnett always takes a celebrity under his wing, has been on the streaming service for a week now.
When writing down a possible review, it soon became clear that it is difficult to put a number on it. A review of Murderville quickly morphed into a review of the concept and to be honest I'm just a really big fan. The sincere reactions and ignorance to keep the face serene, invariably makes me smile. Which guest was the best? Time for a strong piece of pseudoscience!
“How did you rate the different guests?” you ask me with a frown. Very glad you asked me. There are several parameters that I took into account. First, did they go along with the story? Second, how well they could improvise. Last, and most importantly, how hard did I laugh? Because that's the most important thing right now. What a seasoned marketer without any irony in the voice would call a Northstar metric . If we add them all up, we get a nice picture of the first season.

Annie Murphy
At the bottom of the list we find the actress known for Schitt's Creek . It soon proved difficult for her to keep track of all the details. More than the other guests, she seemed to be looking for guidance from Will Arnett. Not immediately knowing what to do, what said. Don't get me wrong though: even this episode has a hilarious part on the 3rd suspect. But even there I was still hungry in the field of improvisation.
Ken Jeong
Ken quickly went along with the energy and rhythm of Will Arnett but completely lost himself in the absurdity of the whole. It is clear that he was having a lot of fun, but the many laughs meant that we as viewers never really got a feel for the situations. Having to carry the last episode of the season turned out to be a tough assignment for him. A shame, since it was the most important story for Seattle, the character of Will Arnett.
Sharon Stone
Sharon scores surprisingly well when it comes to improvisation, with an absolute highlight when she just briefly plays an entire scene with a German accent. She is difficult to lose weight, knew very quickly to pick up and respond to the actors. A pleasure to watch. The fact that she's in fourth place says more about the other celebrities than it does about her.Bigbug Streaming, The Hating Game Streaming, Uncharted Streaming, Death Note Streaming, Les Vedettes Streaming
Conan O'Brien
Conan breathes comedy and improv talent so it was no surprise that this one would end up in the top 3. When I saw in the trailer that he was one of the guests, my expectations were high. Maybe a little too high? I sometimes felt that Conan was hitting the limits of what is possible within the concept. The man is at his best when he gets into a stream of thoughts and emphasizes the absurdity. He just couldn't do the latter without compromising the concept. The next time I put too much spicy sauce on my food, I'll consider myself lucky that I don't have to question anyone.
Marshawn Lynch
The quarterback was a noble stranger to me but really convinced me within the first fifteen minutes. Not only did he throw himself into the various scenes with great pleasure, he added an element of his own. The call for a name change to Detective Bagabitch and the conversation that followed was top notch. Wonderful surprise.
Kumail Nanjiani
Kumail stands head and shoulders above all the rest in my opinion. It's a mystery to me whether it was mainly the story or his improvisation. Whatever the case may be, it has produced hilarious moments. I still have a big smile when I think of his walks, the earnestness with which he challenged Will to impersonate a non-racist Pakistani. It was one funny moment after another. That's why I can't help but crown Nanjiani as the absolute winner of Murderville (so far).
