A Good Girl's Guide to Murder

TV show · 2024

This British mystery thriller follows teenage Pip as she reopens a five-year-old murder case in her small English town, and the story grows steadily darker as she uncovers drug dealing, sexual assault, and manipulation at its heart. Two seasons have aired (2024 and 2026), and this report covers both; the content level is consistent across them.
