Netflix’s latest No. 1 movie is “The Thursday Murder Club,” Richard Osman’s adaptation about a group of spirited retirees who, between their bridge games and tea breaks, find themselves unraveling real-life murder cases.
I found myself thoroughly enchanted by its ensemble of endearing characters, brought vividly to life by British screen legends like Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan. The movie actually turned out to be delightfully effective despite its jarring tonal differences.
