From the article "These 10 Recent Whodunit TV Shows Will Keep You Guessing All The Way Through" by Ben Protheroe. Apr 21, 2025 (Screenrant).
"Whodunit shows have been one of the most popular TV genres for years, meaning that there's no shortage of series for fans to discover. A good whodunit should present a clear case with a list of potential suspects, as audiences often enjoy the puzzle of trying to figure out who the culprit is along with the on-screen investigator.
Whodunits are perfectly suited to the miniseries format, since this allows enough time for a knotty criminal investigation to explore several different paths, but it doesn't drag on for so long that the show has to use filler episodes, inevitably slowing down the pace. The best whodunit shows strike the perfect balance, and a compelling solution is essential."
