Critics Consensus

Confounding as it is seductive, Murder at the End of the World is a worthy brain-teaser for fans of Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij's offbeat storytelling.

Drew Gregory Autostraddle Plows a path forward for the crime genre. Dec 14, 2023 Full Review Geordie Gray The Australian There are a lot of meaty themes thrown around in this — climate change, artificial intelligence — which are interesting, sure, but not as tantalising as Darby and Bill’s romance. It is a giddy pleasure watching these two preternaturally gifted actors... Nov 28, 2023 Full Review Nick Hilton Independent (UK) It is played almost entirely straight, anchored by winningly sincere performances from its two young English leads (both playing Americans), Corrin and Dickinson. Rated: 4/5 Nov 18, 2023 Full Review Nelson Acosta Koimoi Brit Marling returns to the screen with a mystery to solve and life lessons to give as fear of new technologies keeps creeping behind us. Rated: 4/5 Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene Holding it all together is Corrin, much praised for her work as the young Princess Diana on Netflix’s The Crown... It’s a haunting performance. Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Alberto Carlos Espinof A Murder at the End of the World falls somewhat short of what it promised... or what it could have been, bordering that line between the notable and the outstanding. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 2, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Mike J Why would you take a wonderful ensemble cast, and then give them virtually nothing to do… Between that, and half the show being told as a flash back to a story that has nothing to do with the current main plot, that your left with is messy, predictable, jumble that isn’t anywhere near as clever as it thinks it is. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Steve S I was optimistic for this one, but ultimately it was a bit of a letdown. This limited series started out intriguing in the first two episodes, but as it went along got bogged down with slow pacing and not always great acting and writing. In the end the story plays out like a typical whodunnit murder mystery. There were some things that happened that were implausible and some of the red herrings thrown at the viewer were a bit too obvious. One other thing that bugged me was that similar to “True Detective Night Country” it is supposed to be subzero harsh winter weather conditions yet characters are walking around outdoors without gloves on, hats and their coats unzipped. Overall, this was not a bad series, but I thought it could have been better. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/18/24 Full Review Ron G Could have been a good 90 minute movie. The mystery was stretched, loose ends left loose, a lot of filler. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Jackson M Murder at the end of the world is a decent mystery, but was somewhat mundane. The perfect word for it is, Underwhelming. Many times the writers made the show too grandiose, trying to make the plot too smart and tech savvy for it's own good. It's clear Brit Marling had very ambitious notions, but didn't realize how deep in the weeds it was getting. Super scientific, it sacrifices plot twists in order to make comments on AI. Also, this cast was HUGE but the show just did not do nearly enough with such a big and well-cast ensemble. A lot of characters really just stood around the whole season while 4 people got the most attention. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/06/24 Full Review angela g a really good murder mystery show better than death and other details Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/12/24 Full Review Maikel F It's hard to think these two wrote and produced The OA. This seems like written from a different universe where they lost their storytelling talent. It feels at times the character of Darby was written for Brit and they misscast the lead with Ema Corrin, who seems to have just one facial expression and that's it. The story is so slow paced you can use this show as a sleeping aid. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
