What is A Murder at the End of the World about?
As the official synopsis tells us, “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.”
This one comes to us from co-creators Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, who previously gave us The OA, Sound of My Voice, and The East.
