A seemingly idyllic vacation turns deadly in the new series,If It’s Tuesday, It’s Murder. A group of Spanish tourists in Portugal find their getaway shattered when one of their own is discovered lifeless in a bathtub.
The initial assessment points to tragic accident – an overweight man with health issues. But a closer look reveals disturbing details: unexplained electrical burns. A hair dryer, shockingly, was used in the fatal incident, then discarded from the window, immediately raising suspicions.
Instead of simply accepting the police’s initial conclusions, the remaining tourists decide to launch their own investigation. They transform into amateur detectives, determined to uncover the truth behind Fernando’s death and salvage what’s left of their holiday.
Their pursuit of justice isn’t easy. They face indifference from local authorities, a growing list of potential suspects, and the looming threat of deportation. As the investigation deepens, suspicion begins to fall on those closest to the victim – a twist few will find surprising.
The series unfolds against the vibrant backdrop of Lisbon, offering glimpses of the city’s beauty even as a dark mystery unfolds. It’s a surprisingly lighthearted whodunnit, leaning more towards the playful energy ofOnly Murders In The Buildingthan the bleakness of Nordic noir.
Each episode corresponds to a day of the week-long trip, building suspense and revealing new layers to the puzzle. The tourists, all avid fans of true crime and mystery novels, bring their own unique perspectives to the case, adding a charmingly quirky element to the investigation.
Early viewers have praised the series as a fun and engaging watch, with many hoping for a second season. It’s a clever blend of mystery, humor, and stunning scenery, offering a captivating escape for those seeking a cozy crime drama.
