Critics Consensus

The Afterparty sometimes strains to keep the jamboree of yuks going, but its ambitious melding of genres and extensive guest list of actors make for a worthwhile nightcap.

Liz Shannon Miller Consequence Even when the gimmick threatens to overwhelm the narrative, theres plenty packed into those seven episodes to fuel endless debates and theories about the true identity of the killer. Mar 19, 2022 Full Review Megan Garber The Atlantic The show carefully calibrates shtick and insight. Feb 23, 2022 Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times The Afterparty is a witty satirical experiment so entertaining I'd be in favor a second season with a whole new reunion-murder. Rated: 3/4 Jan 29, 2022 Full Review Juanma Fernández París El Nuevo Día (Puerto Rico) The only rule for comedy in each episode of "The Afterparty" is that anything goes. The pleasant surprise of the show is how this is sustained in a creative, fun, and unexpected way. [Full review in Spanish] Dec 5, 2023 Full Review Sarah Ward Concrete Playground The cast is top-notch. The writing is clever. Surprises arrive frequently, and the throwaway gags — including the jokes involving Xavier's film career, cameos from other famous faces and magnificent 80s yacht-rock references included — are simply glorious Jun 25, 2022 Full Review Christopher James The Film Experience Its worth accepting the invite to iThe Afterpartyi, even if you might not be the best party of your life. The performances are fun, particularly from Tiffany Haddish and Ben Schwartz. Rated: B- Mar 30, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

emily F A CRIME THIS SHOW ONLY LASTED 2 SEASONS! I loved it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/16/25 Full Review Gabriel W "Knives Out" Serie, als wäre sie von James Gunn gedreht worden. Diese Serie ist für alle die, die was zur Überbrückung zum dritten Teil brauchen. Jede/r Verdächtige in dem Mordfall erzählt die persönliche Version, die wir zu sehen bekommen. So weit, so bekannt. Nur als jeweils, Musical, Arthouse Film, Action etc. etc. Es gibt natürlich Wendungen, Missverständnisse, Cliffhanger. Das ganze ist so leichtfüßig inszeniert, dass die Folgen schnell vergehen. Auch die Settings wissen zu gefallen. Zum Lachen gibt es jede Menge. Die Details Zeugen von einer Aufwendig produzierten Serie. Der Humor sitzt. Sogar ein wenig "Tropical Thunder" Flair gibt es im Zusamnenhang mit dem ermordeten. Absolut Sehenswert. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/25/25 Full Review Shawn C This show is so dumb. I couldnt make it through the second episode. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Adrian R I was glad to see the sequel and everyone was great, but Aneq character is just to moronic I've never meet anyone in real life that was like that so it brought the series down for me, I would love to see a part three but with out this character Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/16/23 Full Review J Perfectly fine, has some fun and even funny moments, but the killer is too predictable. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/27/23 Full Review Jenaro V Tratar un misterio de asesinato mostrando en cada capítulo el relato diferente de cada uno de los involucrados es algo que ya se ha visto, es parte del genero, pero que este relato venga acompañado de una estética diferente es algo fresco e interesante, que reduce que ver una y otra vez las mismas escenas se haga tan tedioso. La forma en la que se lleva la investigación, el desarrollo de los personajes y la conclusión de la misma esta bien trabajada, el formato de 30min por episodio es un acierto. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
