Murder In A Small Town: Why It Has Failed To Succeed, Explained

Fox's Murder In A Small Town has returned for a second season - but the show's failure to truly land is only going to continue if the mystery series doesn't fix its biggest mistake. Based on the Alberg and Cassandra books, the first season of the show was primed for success, with a great cast, recognizable guest stars, an award-winning book series as a jumping-off point (and the built-in fanbase that comes with it), and a partnership between Fox and Global that ensures viewership reach.
