My Life Is Murder

Alexa Crowe is a sharp, unrepentant investigator who enjoys untangling mysteries of every scale, from brutal murders to the irritating little problems that trip people up. She’s direct, quick-witted and tuned into odd human behavior, and she uses a mix of provocation, sympathy and keen observation to get answers. Working with a younger partner who keeps her grounded, Alexa approaches each case like a puzzle that reveals something about the people involved, and the show keeps its tone light enough to allow humor alongside darker moments, without spoiling the outcome of any single story.

Created by Claire Tonkin and Rick Maier, the series premiered in 2019 and stars Lucy Lawless as Alexa Crowe, with Ebony Vagulans as Madison Feliciano, Alexa’s reliable colleague and sounding board.
