7/10
Another stellar series ruined by the last episode
23 December 2023
As soon as I see Emma Corrin channeling a young Jodie Foster, I'm game. The resemblance, facial expressions, and certain vocal tones are uncanny! Foster is one of the elites but Corrin does hold her own. She is excellent. "A Murder at the End of the World" sports a brooding, beautiful cinematography to match the mystery and darkness hovering over the characters. There is a mix of action, horror, family drama, and "Black Mirror" type themes. The episodes adequately hum along, thanks to a solid supporting cast. However, the very last episode seems to have given up and resorts to a mere monologue explaining the mystery. No challenge; no joy. Disappointing. Not to mention the juvenile ending that is almost laughable. Still, I give it 7 stars for the buildup in the first six episodes.
