A Murder at the End of the World
{5/5} “The thing about getting close on a case is that you actually start to burn. And the only way to put out the fire is to solve it.”
A Murder at the End of the World, aired in 2023
Darby and Bill show up at an abandoned house that they think used to belong to a serial killer. In the basement they find the bones of one of the killer’s victims. Someone comes to the house, and they assume it’s the killer. To stop him from killing them they name his victims.
Some time later Darby has written a book about her experience. And she’s working on more unsolved murders. Then a billionaire’s assistant messages her saying he wants to show her something.
This is a 7-part mini-series.
It’s about what happens when you investigate murders but this time it’s someone you were very close to, and having deep regrets from the past.
There are lots of flashbacks to when Darby and Bill first met.
If you watch the first episode, you’re guaranteed to watch the rest. It eventually verges into science fiction territory.
The mysterious music is by Danny Bensi and Saunder Jurriaans.
Emma Corrin is mesmerizing as Darby, and Harris Dickinson does a fabulous job with the slightly less flashy role of Bill.
Stars Brit Marling, Clive Owen, Alice Braga, and Joan Chen.
