"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.

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...

4/5

It is played almost entirely straight, anchored by winningly sincere performances from its two young English leads (both playing Americans), Corrin and Dickinson.

…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...

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.

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.

Terrible. This could have been done in one 90 minute movie instead of multiple 1 hour plus episodes. Simply put, this show is so....boring. I have no idea how it has a high rating. Molasses pouring outside at 30 below zero moves faster. The great Clive Owen couldn't even save this ultimate dud! I can't even recommend it if you have nothing better to do.

Emma Corrin is so very good as the lead in this drama. I want to see more from her.

I like what it said about AI, algorithms and the power paradox. As a Canadian, I found the winter scenes a little hard to believe lol.

The first half of this limited series is excellent as the story of Bill and Darby’s relationship unfolds. Their chemistry is undeniable and their journey into darkness is compelling and often disturbing. Once Darby gets to Iceland, it started to fall apart for me. Portraying genius is always a challenge. The screenplay is not always up to it and people who are supposed to be brilliant and accomplished often come off as petty and average. Some silly dialogue and preposterous plot lines diminished the power of the first half. I felt Bill and Darby’s reunion was way too short and anticlimactic. Even the wonderful Clive Owen could not save the show from ultimate disappointment.
