This Addictive 2-Part Mystery Phenomenon Is the Perfect Binge for ‘Wednesday’ Fans

Published

on

Back in April, the world was treated to their first look at the third outing of everyone’s favorite nihilistic psychic teen. It was confirmed that Wednesday Season 3 had entered production in Ireland, with Jenna Ortega back at Nevermore Academy to face her toughest case yet. The search for Enid (Emma Myers) is on, with Tyler (Hunter Doohan) looking set to return, and Winona Ryder joining the cast after teaming up with Ortega and Tim Burton on the legacy sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

It is likely that Myers, in particular, will play a huge role in Wednesday Season 2, with the actress continuing to impress in her young career to date. However, this isn’t her best small-screen performance, with that coming as Pip Fitz-Amobi in the cozy British murder-mystery series A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. Based on Holly Jackson‘s popular book trilogy, the recent arrival of the second season on Netflix, which adapts the second installment, Good Girl, Bad Blood, is already proving hugely popular.

At the time of writing, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder Season 2 ranks among the ten most-watched shows on Netflix in the U.S. Although unable to knock The Boroughs from the top spot, the show has made a good return to life on streaming, and even ranks as high as #2 in the likes of Hungary, Latvia, and Sri Lanka. In Jasneet Singh‘s review for Collider, she praised Season 2 for being “even darker, stronger,” adding that “Season 2 has forged its identity and hit a stride that elicits more excitement for the future of Pip’s story.”

The first instinct is often the truest one.

04

How do you deal with authority you don’t trust?
Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.

Your Fate Has Been Calculated
You’d Survive In…

Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.

The Resistance, Zion

The Matrix

You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.

Advertisement
  • You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
  • You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
  • You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
  • The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.


The Wasteland

Mad Max

The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.

Advertisement
  • You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
  • You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
  • You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
  • In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.


Los Angeles, 2049

Blade Runner

You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.

Advertisement
  • You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
  • In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
  • You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
  • In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.


Arrakis

Dune

Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.

Advertisement
  • Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
  • You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
  • Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
  • In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.


A Galaxy Far, Far Away

Star Wars

The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.

Advertisement
  • You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
  • You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
  • You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
  • In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.

‘A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder’ Has Scored Higher Than ‘Wednesday’

As Myers’ two biggest shows yet, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder and Wednesday were always going to be compared. The release of the second season, however, has seemingly settled the debate. The average score of Ortega’s teen series on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes is 80% (critics) and 81% (audiences), which simply pales in comparison to the 86% critics’ score and near-perfect 96% audience score of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder Season 2. The puzzle-solving of Pip Fitz-Amobi is sure to stay around for many years.

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder Season 2 is streaming now on Netflix. Make sure to stay tuned to Collider for all the latest streaming stories.
