Moonflower Murders fans are in agreement about the 'terrific' show — but have one big question

Atticus Pünd (Timothy McMullan) outside the Moonflower Hotel in episode 5 of Moonflower Murders.

Moonflower Murders viewers are unanimous about the 'terrific' show, with some saying they have 'binge-watched all six episodes' already.

Viewers of the BBC show Moonflower Murders have taken to social media to express how much they enjoy the show.

'Binge-watched all 6 episodes of Moonflower Murders until 2am the other night. Terrific stuff. Bravo,' wrote one fan on X, formerly Twitter.

Meanwhile, another said, 'Moonflower murders, very enjoyable.'

Another fan of the BBC show wrote, 'Very much enjoyed the ‘Moonflower Murders’ on @BBCiPlayer

'Adapted by @AnthonyHorowitz himself

'Looking forward to ‘Marble Hall Murders’ next year.'

While another wrote, 'Daniel Mays' and Tim McMullan's accents in Moonflower Murders are wonderful. A real treat to hear East Anglian tones on the telly. And as for Atticus Pund's gorgeous southern German, it's almost like listening to Anton Walbrook again.'

Meanwhile, another wrote, 'Moonflower Murders is the most innovative detective drama on TV in years! Anthony Horowitz’s writing is always so terrific, I read him all the time!

'Congratulations @eleventhhourtv @jillgreen13 @DanielMays9 @willtudor1 @Rosiemae @masterpiecepbs - & Leslie Manville is amazing!'

But fans have some questions about the BBC show, 'Can someone answer me this please, are Magpie Murders and Moonflower Murders the same series?' asked one viewer.

To which another fan of the BBC show replied, 'Moonflower murders are I think a sequel to magpie murders, same author and cast.'

And another clarified, 'Seems to be a follow on serious.'

But not everyone agreed that the series is a hit, with another fan writing, 'If I was having a serious off day, and wanted to invent a s**t TV show which perfectly exemplified the desperate lack of creativity and originality in British TV and culture generally, I would invent 'Moonflower Murders'. And I would be disappointed in myself.'

You can watch the whole series of Moonflower Murders on BBC iPlayer now.
