    ⭐ Insomniacs Rating: 7/10 THE SUMMARY If you ever felt like your organized holiday was a bit of a death march, If It’s Tuesday, It’s Murder (2026) takes that literally. This Spanish Disney+ original follows an eclectic group of tourists on a week-long trip to Lisbon, Portugal. The vibes go from "sunny holiday" to "sinister nightmare" when one of them, Fernando, is found dead in his hotel room on the very first morning. Instead of leaving it to the local police, four true-crime obsessed travelers decide to play detective. They have seven days to unmask a killer who might be sitting right next to them on the tour bus before their return flight takes off. THE PROS The setting is the absolute business—filming entirely in Lisbon gives the show a sincere, sun-drenched beauty that makes the "dark turn" feel even more shocking. The cast, led by Inma Cuesta and Álex García, is 100% authentic and brings a witty, sharp chemistry to the "amateur sleuth" dynamic. It’s a genuine belter for fans of the "cosy crime" genre, balancing the tension of a murder investigation with the humorous chaos of a crumbling hotel and a tour group full of secrets. It witty-ly leans into the "Only Murders in the Building" vibe while maintaining its own unique Spanish flavor, making it a total win for a weekend binge. THE CONS It misses the 8/10 mark because the premise can feel a bit wet and "ludicrous" at times—the idea that four random tourists are consistently smarter than the entire Portuguese police force is a bit of a head-scratcher. It hits a Languid Burn in the middle episodes as they wander through historical sites, where the "tourist" part of the show occasionally overshadows the "murder" part. While the humor is the business, some of the subplots feel a bit like total garbage filler that distracts from the central mystery. It’s a 7/10 because while it’s a sincere and breezy adventure, it doesn't quite have the "epic" grit or high-octane pacing of the top-tier vault essentials. THE VERDICT A 7/10. It is a sincere, fun, and visually stunning mystery that every Agatha Christie fan should have in their vault. It isn't an 8 or 9/10 because it plays it a bit safe with the tropes and the stakes don't always feel high-octane enough. It is total garbage that the ending feels a bit rushed, but the ride through Lisbon is a total win for the vibes alone. In 2026, it stands as a genuine, lighthearted alternative to the darker procedurals in the 900+ archive. INSOMNIAC TRIVIA • Historical Hooks: The show witty-ly links the mystery to real historical moments in Lisbon. The characters use local landmarks not just as a backdrop, but as actual clues in the investigation, which is a sincere win for viewers who love a bit of "Da Vinci Code" energy in their crime shows.• Star Cameos: Keep your eyes peeled for some 100% authentic legendary faces. Reports of cameos from the likes of Timothy Dalton and Joanna Lumley in the background of the hotel scenes were a total win for the international production value.• Title Twist: The title is a witty-ly dark nod to the 1969 film "If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium." It perfectly sets the tone for a series that is as much about the exhaustion of organized travel as it is about the "Z-word" (Zero-sum) game of solving a murder. THE VIBE Like a glass of chilled white wine in a dusty town square, the sound of a tour guide’s whistle, and the sudden chill of realizing the person you’re sharing a meal with is a killer. It’s sunny, suspicious, and surprisingly breezy. It makes you want to book a trip to Portugal, join a true-crime book club, and realize that some souvenirs are deadlier than others.
