All- time TV series

Ok, guys. Listen to this:


Don't tell me you didn't love this lady? Wasn't she cute? Jessica Fletcher, ahh... such memories!

After her husband's death, Mrs. Fletcher starts writing mystery novels (or whodunnits). Her novels become an immediate success. But this is not Mrs. Fletcher only talent. She also has a gift for solving murder mysteries. Well, when you come to think of it, murder seems to follow her around, which makes me wonder.
To be honest, I think that people should run away the moment they meet her because a murder is about to happen for sure.
However, in spite of this, I really loved this series. And, wait a minute, I just realized that, in fact, maybe the plot was not so simple, I mean, it could be a story inside a story. I'll explain myself. Maybe, the TV series is about the mystery novels she writes. Each episode is one of her novels in which the main character is a nosy lady who is a good observer (and likes eavesdropping a bit).

Anyway, any series is good to practise English and if you like this type of shows, I'll tell you that it is not very difficult to follow. Jessica Fetcher, at least, speaks very clearly. Do you think I'm exaggerating? Well, watch this video and see for yourselves.

Now, if you want to revise some vocabulary, here you have a couple of links you might find useful. Have fun!
