Most people, when they want to go in for a compelling binge-watch on OTT, make their way to Netflix or Prime Video to look up a series or movie to watch. They rarely, if ever, visit streaming platforms like SonyLIV or Voot Select to watch a foreign show. Which is where we at Binged come into the picture. We dig up hidden gems from the deepest nooks and crannies of streaming platforms, to offer interesting binge-watch recommendations to our readers.
One such show is ‘Magpie Murders‘, streaming on SonyLIV in India. The series premiered in February 2022 on PBS, and then made its way to SonyLIV. It is a delightful murder mystery, with ample twists and turns to keep the viewer hooked. It follows the interesting “story within a story” format, and ends on an astonishing suspense reveal. ‘Magpie Murders’ is adapted from Anthony Horowitz’s bestselling mystery novel of the same name.
If that is not enough to entice you enough, then let us tell you that ‘Magpie Murders’ is helmed by Peter Cattaneo, the director of the delightful film, ‘The Full Monty’. Magpie Murders stars Lesley Manville (World on Fire, Phantom Thread, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris) as editor turned amateur sleuth Susan Ryeland, Tim McMullan (Patrick Melrose, Foyle’s War) as world-famous detective Atticus Pünd, besides Daniel Mays, Alexandros Logothetis, Claire Rushbrook, Jude Hill and Matthew Beard.
‘Magpie Murders’ is a beguiling murder mystery with a solution that will both astonish and shock viewers. The plot of Magpie Murders revolves around the character Susan Ryeland, an editor who is given an unfinished manuscript of author Alan Conway’s latest novel, but has little idea it will change her life.
Magpie Murders is currently streaming on SonyLIV. Do give it a watch this Sunday, you won’t be disappointed!
