A Murder at the End of the World is a new mystery series created by Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, the makers of The OA. The series stars Emma Corrin as Darby Hart, a young hacker and amateur sleuth who is invited by a billionaire tech mogul, Andy Ronson (Clive Owen), to a retreat in Iceland, where a murder takes place. The series also features flashbacks to Darby’s past, when she and her ex-boyfriend Bill (Harris Dickinson) tracked down a serial killer.
The series explores themes such as climate change, artificial intelligence, violence against women, and power dynamics. It is a complex and ambitious web of intrigue that combines elements of Agatha Christie, Scandinavian noir, and American road trips. However, it also suffers from some flaws, such as overlong episodes, unclear direction, and lack of tension. Some critics have praised the series for its originality, sincerity, and outstanding performances, especially by Corrin, while others have criticized it for its lack of focus, coherence, and suspense.
The first two episodes of the series premiered on November 14, 2023, on Hulu, with new episodes dropping weekly on Tuesdays. The series is expected to have seven episodes in total.
