About 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.

Audience scores indicate steady approval, with a 7.148/10 average from 64 votes on one tracker. Viewers tend to enjoy the week-to-week mystery structure, the clever mix of crime and comedy, and the moral clarity the lead brings to difficult situations. Recurring themes include the quirks of human behavior, the value of straightforward honesty, and how humor can defuse tension without trivializing serious issues.

Lucy Lawless’ performance has been a major draw, showing a different side of her screen persona and helping the show stand out in a crowded procedural landscape. The series is noted for its breezy tone, memorable character interactions, and approachable mysteries, which have inspired a modest but engaged fan community and regular online conversation about favorite episodes and lines.

The show hasn’t been a major awards contender, but it has earned consistent viewer appreciation for strong casting and an appealing blend of wit and investigative craft. Fans and new viewers often cite the chemistry between the leads and the show’s knack for balancing light moments with honest emotional beats as reasons to keep watching.
