Death and Other Details (TV Series)

"Overall, it isn't a groundbreaking murder mystery series. It does have a witty detective and a few unexpected reveals, but its lack of originality seeps through in certain narrative decisions and side character additions" 

"A welcome winter mystery with plenty of drama (...) [It] is more complex than expected and gets smarter and more clever as it goes along" 

"[It] goes down like the Titanic" 

"For fans of all things Agatha Christie, this enjoyable Hulu whodunit does the trick" 

[It] wastes potential on neverending cruise (...) Maybe the real mystery is how we're going to fix this bloated era of TV. We need a better detective than Rufus Cotesworth to solve that one" 

"I’d have preferred five genuinely complex characters to two dozen attractive chess pieces, which is 'Death and Other Details' in a nutshell (...) 'Death and Other Details' consistently stands out for doing the most, but rarely stands out for doing the best" 

"Mandy Patinkin, as the faded gumshoe, has great chemistry with protege Violetta Beane in the Hulu series that’s full of attention-getting gimmicks (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
