I must admit I am a sucker for mystery TV shows and a whodunnit gets my juices flowing but this just mystery is dragging. Like who did it already? I'm at episode 8 and I'm fatigued. That is one of my pet peeves with whodunnit mysteries. This show could have easily been 8 solid episodes.
However, one thing I did like is how they placed Imogene in Coatsworth's clothes and set as they are recollecting past events. That was pretty inventive. Other than that, it has been an ok ride. The characters are too many. I would have liked more character development for the Collier family and the Mayor. The Priest character seems just as unnecessary as the social media influencer son.
Nevertheless, I have already invested 8 weeks...what's 2 more lol. Let's hope I don't regret it.

I wanted to like this show. I love murder mysteries and I wanted something to fill the between-seasons void of Only Murders in the Building. Unfortunately, Death and Other Details is not it. For starters, the protagonist is a selfish, self-centred, privileged brat who you find yourself rooting against. It's so blatant that even the other characters call her out on it. The amateur writing is evident in the dialogue that often contradicts that of the characters. What also destroys the potential of this series is the constant repetition of scenes. Flashbacks are one thing, but they often show you large chunks of the same scene two or three times and sometimes in the same episode. At eight episodes in, I find myself hoping the villain just murders them all and calls it a day. It is clear that they tried to make this show clever, but it's poorly executed and sloppy. There are some great actors in the series (Mandy Patinkin, Rahul Kohli, Linda Emond, Karoline), it's just a shame that their talent is wasted on this sinking ship.
I have seen a lot of mystery series lately from the big movies like glass onion and death on the nile to only murders in the building and the white lotus. The list goes on, but none of them felt like a good mystery. Death and other details on the other hand had me crying. Not due to sadness, but because the mystery is so good. At a certain point you start feeling like the show is about to wrap up, and then the mystery just kicks in so hard it left me in tears. This before the truth was even revealed. I dont get how people are saying this is bad compared to the long list of other mystery series. Clearly people are fangirling over Selena Gomez. I like her too, but Only murders is so boring to me. This show "Death and other details" was anything but.
If you are looking for a good mystery and a good time, then I personally recommend you give this one a go. I now need a second season. I did like The white lotus. Not so much for it's mystery but for it's commentary and silly characters/over the top comedy.
This show however had me hooked, and the ending is crazy! The characters are awesome, and who they all truly are unfolds beautifully. I'm trying really hard not to give shows a 10/10, but if I did, then this would get it! Dont let Only murders fans stop you from watching this, cuz to me this one is so much better.
I was planning on ending my review here, but I need to give credit to the cast (Picking out favourites is impossible as they all nail their roles), the writers, costume department, not to mention the special effects team (especially towards the ending) and pretty much everyone involved. I really hope people give this a go like I did, even tho the reviews had me a bit nervous. Wich is also why I decided to write my own. Something I dont do very often. This was finally a win for me when it comes to the mystery genre. This one truly felt well thought out.

Imogene Scott (Violett Beane) is a guest of her rich best friend Anna Collier (Lauren Patten) on an oceanliner. As a child, Imogene lost her mother in a car bombing and celebrated private investigator Rufus Cotesworth (Mandy Patinkin) failed to solve the case. She was raised by the Collier family. While on the ocean cruise, Anna is in negotiations with the Chun family for a corporate takeover. Imogene is shocked that Chuns have hired Cotesworth. She is further annoyed by Anna's loser brother Tripp's entitled investor Keith. She plays a prank on him who later turns up murdered.
This is part Agatha Christie and part White Lotus. It is nowhere near as good as the best of either. It does have some fun with the mixture. It is pretty good for most of its run until the show gets to the season's big reveal. That reveal presents me with some problems. This really should be a limited series, but it seems to have left the closing open-ended. I hope that there is no second season.

I feel like I've been watching for months.
I can't remember anyone's name.
The business deal is odd. People at this level should have a better ability to evaluate investment.
What episode am I on. Am I supposed to care about the death of that lady's mother. Why are there so many scenes going nowhere.
The photography is perfect. Composition and montage and lighting is all done away.
The characters are opaque. It's hard to care about them.
Rahul and Hugo make the most of their scenes.
Mandy's accent needed more work.
Violett's hair makes this feel like an SNL skit.
How am I still watching this.

- TriviaThough many of the show's scenes set on the interior of the ship were filmed on sets in a Canadian studio, a few were shot on an actual Art Deco ocean liner from the 1930s, the RMS Queen Mary, that is permanently moored in the port of Long Beach, California. Often used as a filming location for movies and shows set on luxury ships, the Queen Mary also contains a hotel, restaurants and bars, and event spaces. At the time when this series filmed its scenes on the vessel (autumn 2021), much of the ship was closed for renovation.
- GoofsInterpol, represented in this series by Agent Hilda Eriksen, are not law enforcement officers and do not investigate (international) crimes, nor do they have powers of arrest. Interpol instead facilitates international police cooperation and information sharing. As such, they issue notices of wanted persons, such as the Red Notice. They can send a response team to assist in a major incident such as a terrorist attack.
