8 Women
A French murder mystery set during a retreat to a country manor. At this retreat are -- wait for it -- 8 women, plus a dead guy. The Netflix reviews I read compared it to "Gosford Park," so it seems everyone forgot about "The Rules of the Game" and "Clue" like everyone forgot about Dre. It's a mystery, but also a musical, so every once in a while, everyone starts singing like it's Bollywood Time, except with really limited blocking and direction. That makes this a musical for people who don't know anything about musicals. This is the last time I listen to a recommendation from a crazy guy in a video store who talks incessantly (seriously -- if he wasn't talking to someone, he was talking to himself) and uses phrases like "Fourth Wall-ish."
