Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery
20257.2
When young priest Jud Duplenticy is sent to assist charismatic firebrand Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, it’s clear that all is not well in the pews. After a sudden and seemingly impossible murder rocks the town, the lack of an obvious suspect prompts local police chief Geraldine Scott to join forces with renowned detective Benoit Blanc to unravel a mystery that defies all logic.

Who would love this
- ♥Fans of Rian Johnson's directorial style, particularly those who enjoyed the intricate plotting and genre-bending of "Knives Out" and "Glass Onion," but are looking for a darker, more thematically rich mystery. Viewers who appreciate gothic aesthetics, complex characters, and explorations of faith and redemption would likely enjoy it.
Who might not
- ✗Audiences who prefer lighter, more straightforward mysteries or found "Glass Onion" too much of a "lark" might find the darker, more introspective tone of "Wake Up Dead Man" less appealing. Those who found the ending nonsensical or insulting, as one review suggests, may also dislike it.
