Vier Frauen & ein Todesfall

Vier Frauen & ein Todesfall is the rare Austrian series that treats murder like a punchline, and it works.

This is a cozy, character-driven comedy where the corpse is just an excuse for the group to bicker.

Just don't expect high drama. It's more like hanging out with four friends who happen to find dead bodies.
