#SmallScreenScenes #BrookeShields @AcornTV Acorn TV Debuts Trailer for Original Series You’re Killing Me, Highly Recommended, Starring and Executive Produced by Brooke Shields, Premiering Monday, May 18
It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and we've met Brooke Shields a couple of times in person and she is even nicer than you would expect. She even scooted down for a picture with Peachy who is much shorter than her.
We are thrilled that Acorn, one of our favorite networks, has showcased her talent in a brand new series that we absolutely love and you must see! The All-New Original Murder Mystery Series Also Stars Amalia Williamson and Tom Cavanagh.

Of course you know from our hundreds of book reviews, particularly on Agatha Christie before her work was edited, that we love mystery writers. As a New England native spending the first 22 years of her life mostly in New England and totally as a New England primary resident except for six months in Ireland, Peachy Deegan also loves that this is set in New England starring Brooke as a successful mystery author and not only is her acting terrific, but also her Executive Producer skills are fabulous in You're Killing me.
Brooke brings a profound humanity to the role as her character battles relationships with many in her personal life and her town that are highly conflicting, particularly with the younger generation who excel in annoying disrespect and entitlement and with men. We love the way Brooke's character orders at a restaurant with her particular requests and also celebrate her crab bisque choices. There's many unexpected turns and You're Killing Me takes risks that lesser series don't adding to the entertainment. It does not rest upon the laurels of a proven franchise that already exists: it creates a new one that is amazing! This is a multi-generational and appeals to both sexes as a hit: the younger characters come to learn respect and the men smarten up too which makes you appreciate Brooke's character that much more.
Younger is not better.
Everyone always knew Brooke is a pretty face, and she still is but in You're Killing Me you really come to understand her full depth of talent in both acting and producing. Like a fine wine, Brooke as Allison Chandler is spectacularly superlative and she makes the show. Our only question is: when does Season 2 start?
You're Killing Me is Highly Recommended by Whom You Know.
Acorn TV, the leading streaming service for international mysteries and crime dramas, today released the highly anticipated trailer for its new original series You’re Killing Me.

You’re Killing Me is created by Robin Bernheim (Mother of The Bride, Princess Switch).
Set in a quaint, New England town, the mystery follows bestselling novelist, “Allie” (Shields), who forms an unlikely alliance with an aspiring writer and podcaster, “Andi” (Williamson), to find the killer of a close friend. Cavanagh stars as “Jack,” the new lead detective of the local Police Department and former city slicker who is trying to acclimate to the quirks of small-town life.
