Richard Osman's hit book series has been given the Hollywood treatment by Netflix, but has it delighted the critics the same way it did with readers?

The Thursday Murder Club closely follows the plot of the first book, which made us all fall in love with the titular crime-solving pensioners: Elizabeth (Helen Mirren), Joyce (Celia Imrie), Ron (Pierce Brosnan) and Ibrahim (Ben Kingsley).

A new Netflix murder mystery based on a bestselling novel has debuted on Rotten Tomatoes with a near-perfect Tomatometer score from critics.

Netflix's The Thursday Murder Club is adapting Richard Osman's crime comedy thriller for the screen, and the cast is stacked.
