Jesus H Christ what a t*rd this one is, this has to be one of the worst space shows I've seen.
As far as artistic choices and directing goes - nothing makes sense here, it is completely directionless and filled with meaningless scenes, played by characters I did not care about in the slightest.
There is little to no introduction to what is happening in the beginning, and it spirals downwards from there with your usual run of the mill "something went wrong but we don't know what", "hallucinations in space", "russian equipment not working properly", "horror-esque semi scare shots" etc.
The only reason I decided to give it a try was because the moment I looked it up here on this site, it was rated at 8.1. As I've reached the 3rd available episode at the time of launch (so basically 3hrs later), in the moment of writing this review, the rating is at 7.2. I doubt it will end up above 6.
Huston, change the program.

Would you like to watch a show full of unlikable charachters, their trials and tribulations, simple dramas, memories from their past affecting their present, where none of that is important in the grand scheme of the main thread?
No?
How about all of that on a backdrop of some sci-fi?
Still no?
What if we make it slow, nothing will make sense, and barely anything will be explained?
Well then come on in, take a seat and make some popcorn. You'll need it as snacks will be your main entertainment here :)
Apple already made once a show of similar quality, where there was an invasion happening, and it was as energetic and interesting as this show, where the whole show was also focused on personal dramas rather than monsters and aliens, despite similarly misleading name.
I guess 6 stars for that invasion show must have been a smashing success in Apples eyes, because they basically copy pasted that same formula to this show. I already know it is terrible, but it is fun watching as rating slowly drops from 8 at start, closer and closer to 5 where it belongs.

Darby Hart (MC) is not a genius, and of all things she could be they decided to make her a hacker. She is not a hacker, more like a script kiddie, and oftentimes I have a hard time buying that she is even smart, let alone a genius.
Granted, it's not at the very bottom, on par with some of ncis/csi/etc two-people-sharing-one-keyboard-hacking, but it is bad, kind of like "we have hacking at home" hacking.
Normally I would just let it slide, if it wasn't the case where a lot of progress in the show happens because of that. And as far as her intelligence goes, she does not seem to even care not to leave a trace, when she does her half baked investigation.
To top it all of, Murder at the End of the World is full of slow paced meaningless scenes, that were probably added to make you feel the atmosphere or get attached to characters, but I'm afraid the show failed at both.
Icing on this tesco value cake, is the fact that this show was made by the same person who made The OA, so there is a fat chance that it will go nowhere and get dropped without anything being resolved and/or explained.
This is a wild goose chase, something you watch on a plane where there is nothing else left to do and you have already seen all of the available Sandler movies ;) Don't get attached, and don't get your hopes up. Background show, 4 stars at best.
