A Murder at the End of the Worldis a lot of things.
Its a critique of ultrawealth and capitalism in general, along with subjects like artificial intelligence more specifically.
Its also a love story.
Chapter 1: Homme Fatale opens on Darby Hart (Emma Corrin), this shows equivalent toMr.
Shesa young amateur detective who just published a true-crime memoir entitledThe Silver Doe.
It wasnt until the next morning that they found the bones buried beneath a poorly rebuilt staircase.
At that moment, an armed man showed up and fired at them, changing everything.
Heres where your mileage will vary: To some, this episode will feel overlong and sluggishly paced.
Upon their arrival at the secluded Fljot Valley in Iceland, everyone settles in.
(This week will be his test run.)
Its the first time shes seen her ex in six years since the scrape they somehow survived.
She also, of course, meets Ronson and Lee, along with their almost-6-year-old son, Zoomer.
Then she goes on a walk with Bill, where they reset the air.
He compliments her memoir and acknowledges his main reasons for leaving her.
His presence here has something to do with Lee, with whom he clearly spent some time.
Besides, it already feels like there are only a fewrealoptions for the culprit.
Then Lee shows up, urgently looking for something.
Its spooky, albeit not necessarily a game-changing final moment for an episode that gets a tad dry.
Thats how she met Bill.
Im hopeful that the same will hold true forA Murder at the End of the World.
AI can do a lot, but it couldnt write that smile.
Corrin really sells that moment.
Bill notes that Darbys bravery might not come strictly from a place of, well, bravery.
He doesnt get the chance to explain further, but its an idea to keep in mind.
Sounds like she let her obsession with the serial-killer case take over her life.
The investigation that brought them together also tore them apart.
(Ronson prefers alternative intelligence, because of course he does.)
