"A Murder at the End of the World" is a mystery series with a new kind of detective at the helm -- a Gen Z amateur sleuth and tech-savvy hacker named Darby Hart. In the new limited series, Darby and eight other guests are invited by a reclusive billionaire to participate in a retreat at a remote and dazzling location. When one of the other guests is found dead, Darby must put to use all of her combined skills to prove it was in fact murder, all against a tide of competing interests and before the killer takes another life.

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.

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...

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

…A Murder at the End of the World adds a welcome burst of sci-fi technology to the conventional locked room thriller; the murder methods are original, the solution is unguessable…a perfect binge-watch, somewhere between Nancy Drew and Blade Runner 2049...

Rated: 5/5

Hey, Have You Seen ...?

It's why a tech thriller murder mystery is such a brilliant genre-bending concept. It makes us question the character's reliance on computers and security while also understanding the emotional impulses that make humans embrace or reject that reliance.

Rated: 9/10

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.

The unorthodox detective and the heroine of the story stands out in every frame. Also unlike Holmes and more close to Hercule she is by herself when her Watson takes an early exit. It's a classic whodunnit with futuristic upgrades. There's tidbits from many famous detective tales adopted to this unqiue drama. Great performances by the whole cast especially by Emma and Harry. Unqiue love story under strange circumstances. Excellent visuals and cinematography of literally the edge of the world. Great audio effects and especially the background music. A story with a great ending and a creative enjoyable journey through seven episodes. Loved it.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

From the start of the show it had me hooked. I had to figure out who the killer was, but was wrong each time. It had me guessing all the way to the end. Highly recommend!

Gen Z Agatha Christie stuff! It was good - the two main actors were fantastic. Some of the other story elements didn't really get me. But overall not bad.

Entertaining enough, but would of been a lot better if they focused on one of the 2 stories operating here (preferably the Darby & Bill back story). Marling & Batmanglij can't write a story that isn't someway a tad pretentious and trying to jam some social issue down our throat, and we see it here yet again. Not against it but is all too predictable.
