Nv Zi Tui Li She (2023)

slow start but deep and meaningful at the end!

Context for my review: coming from a long time watcher of Who's the Murderer (since 2019) and other mystery variety shows from MGTV and c-ent, I'm bound to make comparisons to other shows when watching. I really enjoy shows like WTM where mystery is at the forefront or Great Escape where the story/plot holds my attention. With all of that said, SHErlock does a great job of presenting interesting and impactful cases and plays its all-female cast characteristic well, showcasing all different kinds of femininity and women can be both empathetic, strong, courageous, kind, and brave, all at the same time.

the beginning is really slow. i didnt start this show initially because the posters and the concept just looked kind of low budget but now 真香了.

starting at ep 1-2 and skipping the 先导片 was really smart of me and put me in media res so i was instantly hooked by the plot, and i really really liked how the events unfurled while the people were in the middle of it, so it felt more real than whos the murderer. tho sometimes i cringe at the mc’s having to deal with npcs to initiate the next plot, the mc’s are all so charismatic (even zhang yuqi!!) that i dont even mind that much
the cases within the big case are well told, there were still a little bit of a let down in the build up with the reveal of the final boss, but it was still so fun
its so good that i fell in love with npc’s that aren’t played by celebrities (like 安全 and 刘迎迎)
its so girls help girls and heartwarming~ 女孩真是世界上最可爱的生物!!!
it does better than whos the murderer in the 沉浸式vibe and better than great escape because its not always dark + scaring the mc’s, but more like s1 and s2 of great escape where it's less jumpscares and more mystery cracking. its not as good as whos the murderer because the cases just arent that complicated so there arent any like “wow that guy is so smart” moments but the group spirit is sooooooo fun to watch and it's so good that i dont want to leave the show behind,,,, seriously one of the best 1st seasons a show could have and i hope s2 is most of the same people and just as good!
