By gathering Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren, and Sir Ben Kingsley to share the screen in The Thursday Mu---- Club, Netflix has truly outdone itself. It drops us into a cozy retirement village where gossip is currency and secrets are deadlier than they look. Call it comfort viewing with a killer twist, perfect bait for every Netflix junkie hunting their next binge.

Netflix has already tested the star studded cast formula with Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery and it seems to be replicating the same. However, Director Chris Columbus promises this is no ordinary whodunit.

“This is the finest cast I've worked with since Potter,” he told Netflix, praising their craft across stage, TV, and film.

Apart from the star studded cast and the almost promise like nature of the director's words, there is more that the title has to invite eyes.
