Murder, She Wrote is the antidote to today's high-stress TV

Murder, She Wrote's format is "so refreshing," says Brett White, who was too young to watch the show when it originally aired but is watching now that the first five seasons of the 1984-1996 CBS crime drama starring Angela Lansbury is on Amazon Prime. Because, he adds, "modern dramas, the buzzy kind that we all binge on Netflix or eagerly await new episodes of on HBO or FX, ask a lot....This is why Murder, She Wrote is such a refreshing change of pace in 2019. The show delivers all the murder and mystery modern audiences want from TV shows, but it requires almost none of the commitment."
