A Murder at the End of the World - Survivors

For a collection of supposed geniuses, these people sure are stupid. Despite having pretty solid evidence to support her claim that Bill (Harris Dickinson) was murdered, Darby (Emma Corrin) finds herself alone in the camp while others are all too willing to accept an unlikely suicide. About to be sent home by Andy (Clive Owen), Darby pushes forward finding an unexpected connection Bill had with another of the guests who will meet a similar end by the end of the episode, just before he can share a crucial piece of information, forcing, hopefully, our “geniuses” to take Darby’s claims a bit more seriously.

In Love and Deep Water

Set on a cruise ship, In Love and Deep Water merges a romcom about a pair of jilted lovers who come together after realizing their significant others are cheating with a murder mystery aboard the ship. The romcom angle works fairly well with the life of the buttoned-down butler (Ryô Yoshizawa) thrown into chaos after the arrival of Chizuru (Aoi Miyazaki) who showed up to catch her boyfriend and Suguru’s girlfriend together only to realize to late that the pair aren’t on the ship and finding herself stuck on the cruise for several days. The pair bond over both their misfortune and investigating the murder which occurs on the ship (which is where the film runs into problems).

A Murder at the End of the World - Homme Fatal

The opening episode of A Murder at the End of the World offers not one but two hooks to garner interest in the series. The first comes in a book reading by author and amateur detective Darby Hart (Emma Corrin) about her experiences tracking down a serial killer. The thread is almost entirely dropped for a second hook, Darby’s invitation to an ultra-exclusive gathering thrown by a reclusive billionaire (Clive Owen) whose wife just so happens to be Darby’s personal hero (Brit Marling, who also directed and wrote the episode). From there we see Darby meet other guests and make the journey to a remote private hotel in Iceland where the two threads converge and the former boyfriend (Harris Dickinson) seen in the flashbacks of her book reading is revealed to be another guest at the party.
