TLDR

“Don’t mind me, I’m just blabbering.”

What it's about

A wealthy old man invites a few relatives to his estate to decide the future of his fortunes through a series of games.

The take

The inheritance murder mystery concept is played out, especially in recent years. You only really bother with it if you enjoy the formula, which is essentially all we’re getting here. It begins with character introductions and a heavy dose of didacticism, and the crazy family soap opera turns into a whodunnit with all the interviews and the jumping timelines and the red herrings that get no rise out of you. You know how it goes, you know where the twists come in. Some plot points do hit the mark by their sheer ridiculousness alone, but for the most part, getting from trope A to trope B is terribly corny and dragging. Ultimately nothing outstanding, nothing new.

What stands out

Just a poor excuse for a wholesome message about family or something.
