Asesinato en el fin del mundo

First off, I adore Brit Marling and all her work, I have been a big fan since Another Earth and her way of writing and directing along with acting is top par, (along with Zal Batmanglij and Mike Cahill) but maybe because I am familiar with her work I expected a little bit more from this show. At the end of the first episode is was obvious who the killer was and by mid-episode three is was obvious how it was done. After that it was just a wait to get to the end and the "reveal".

Apart from that the blueprint is classic Agatha Cristie, with a bunch of strangers isolated from the world and an amateur sleuth trying to solve the "whodunit" when one of them untimely dies. The setting is interesting and the location beautiful and quite original, the show is well worth a watch if you are into classic detective stories, I just wasn't so blown way by it as I expected going in.

I just finished watching Murder at the End of the World because I hate waiting a week between shows so I wait until the season is done and then binge it. I'm definitely glad I did that with this series because it's better as a binge watch. It will keep you guessing throughout the entire show. While it's almost impossible to guess who actually committed these murders, if you really pay attention you might be able to guess who's behind them and why. This series has so many gifted actors in this while all at the top of their game. Brit Marling not only stars in this but is also one of the writers and if you've seen any of Marling's stuff you know she always delivers. Besides the performances, they bring a lot of important subjects to the forefront like climate change and artificial intelligence.

Just finished watching the complete series. I don't agree with the negative reviews that have been posted here. I don't like to second-guess anyone, but I think people are overreacting to what is, to my mind, a well balanced, and enjoyable story, nicely paced, and well told. The relationship between Darby and Bill, with his passion and problems, rings true for me. And I especially enjoyed Darby's backstory as the daughter of a corner, and an amateur sleuth. It's certainly far better than most series that are thrown together in the endless land of streaming. Believable acting, nice twist at the end. Certainly not the best series ever made. But in my opinion, well worth the investment, from first episode to last. Well done.

Such a great cast. An a wonderful setting, in Iceland. But good God, Darby is an irritating character, and they spend much too much time dwelling on her mournful eyes as she works her way up to her next dumb move, and not enough time on the plot.

The entire series is devoted to plumbing the depths of Darby's character as she tries to stay ahead of the killer. Only problem is, she has no depths. Just those mournful eyes and a frail body.

It's a shame to see such a great cast so underused.

This series is a draft, and needed a lot more editing. The acting can't overcome the bad writing.

Watch it for the scenery, the lush production values. It's enough to make me want to go to Iceland. But don't watch it for the plot or the characters.

A Murder At The End Of The World is a whodunnit murder mystery somewhere in the middle of nowhere in Iceland. Sometimes a bit confusing so not the easiest plot to follow, and it was a bit too slow paced also at times. Emma Corrin plays the head character, the one that likes to investigate, and although she's not a bad actress I found her sometimes overdramatic. Maybe because of the script, that could have been better. Certainly the ending that I found disappointing. The series is only seven episodes long and is about two different stories in different timelines. The main story takes place in a ultramodern bunker whilst the side story, a hunt for a serial killer, was in my opinion much more interesting to follow. Because of the unsatisfying ending and the few overdramatised scenes I'm just going to score it a six which means good enough to watch once.
