    I created an IMDb just to rate this

    Having never seen any of the Murderville series, I stumbled across this on Netflix, and I am SO happy I did. It is silly, it is nonsensical and it is improv at its very best. Will Arnett is incredibly funny and quick-witted and keeps the humour going throughout. The mini breaks in character by all of the actors keep an element of improv authenticity to it, which you can't help but chuckle at. The cameos from sports stars were great, and hats off to Kurt Braunohler who went "all out" to throw the actors off and keep the laughs coming.

    All in all, it's worth committing 52 minutes of your life to.

    I'm still not sure why Pete Davidson bothered showing up.

    Santa exist and someone murdered him lol

    If you are a fan of Improv and The Murderville series you will fall right in line (unscripted) and enjoy this short series. If Escape Rooms were to turn into improv style puzzle this will be it! It's interactive, funny and quick on your feet.

    If you have not seen Murderville or a fan of improv, watch this episode because it's pure comedy and it's less than an hour ( 52 minutes).

    And if you do not like it, just can make up the 52 minutes that you lost by scrolling through your phone for hours.

    Will Arnett and Jason Bateman are great, I sense some Arrested Development character feel on their improv. Maya Rudolph was her Saturday night live self. So Watch Murderville and Who Killed Santa and trust me you will not regret it.

    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

    French Cop, Italian Cop

    This was exactly the Christmas cheer I needed.

    I've missed Murderville and been awaiting a Season 2 announcement since the day Season 1 debuted.

    Jason Bateman and Will Arnett are an incredible team. Arrested Development fans - there's a shout out or two for you along the way.

    The assistant was hilarious. Pete Davidson was hilarious. Maya Rudolph gave a solid performance. Sean Hayes was hilarious. Marshawn Lynch stole the show, just like he did in Season 1.

    While this obviously doesn't guarantee future episodes, it was a great revitalization of the show.

    Cast is amazing. Improv during show was hilarious. Insanely grateful to have found this.

    You should watch the series first!

    I'll watch anything with Jason Bateman in it and I was total unaware of the series. I was a bit confused why it was a little clunky at first so I paused and looked it up to then realized it was improv.

    I finished it and actually liked it. However, I went back and binged the series to get a good idea what I was watching, and then watched this one again, and loved it!

    Once you realize they are basically clueless, you can enjoy the reactions.

    You have to just understand what it is first.

    I feel like some of the low ratings were either because they were confused like I was or don't enjoy this type of comedy.

    You're not rating an Oscar genre movie or even a typical comedy. You're watching sketch and should probably just take it for what it is.

    Just Funny

    I genuinely hope this gets picked up for additional episodes.

    The joy derived from this show is at it's heart not about the story; it's not about how good the improv is. It's about the experience, and it's just funny.

    Everyone involved is outwardly having a good time. Unless you're sporting a cold dead heart that's been stabbed by a well-licked candy cane, you should be too.

    I've enjoyed the spectrum of all the guests and the different ways they've handled being thrown into the fire every single time.

    Specifically though, this Christmas special delivered. Phenomenal chemistry all around. If you like Maya Rudolph and Jason Bateman, you're getting full blown Maya and Jason.

    Talking specifics would cheapen the jokes, so I'll just say my biggest laugh of the entire run of this show happened in this episode.

    9/10.
