Netflix is trying to build franchise hits and whether the zany Knives Out series is going to become such a thing remains to be seen. Having briefly passed through theatres, the vessel for Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) has hit Netflix on 12 December, following the huge success that was Glass Onion.
Now we're treated to Wake Up Dead Man, which leans a little more on the impressive cast and a little less on eccentricities of Benoit Blanc. Indeed, both Mike Lowe and Max Freeman-Mills took themselves to the cinema to view it (separately, I might add) and both reported back that Blanc's appearance takes some time. Perhaps that's part of the mystery.
