PLOT When a guest at a remote Iceland retreat — hosted by billionaire Andy Ronson (Owen) — is found dead, Darby (Corrin) tries to find the killer.
COMPARED TO OTHER Brit Marling/Zal Batmanglij projects, A Murder At The End Of The World is an unexpectedly straightforward story. This pair usually deal in huge concepts, like time-travelling cults (The Sound Of My Voice) or interdimensional angels and psychic octopuses (The OA). While this latest show dabbles in man-versus-technology existentialism, it is at heart a good old-fashioned murder-mystery — like a Hercule Poirot adventure, if Poirot were a pink-haired computer whizz.
