This show caught my attention, as the premises are really intriguing, the mystery set at the end of the first episode is amazing and it really pushed me to keep going. The creators constantly make you wonder what is behind Andy and his company. They glance at a possible culprit for the murder, but then they introduce small details or sudden changes that completely alter the situation and make you look into a different direction. This makes you doubt all the clues that were collected, and keeps your attention on a high level. I enjoyed the general setup and the characters that were portrayed; I liked to see an unconventional detective like Darby. The plot is enriched by interesting flashbacks that deepen the story of the main characters and that will be present for the episodes, adding dynamicity to the narration. The show is slow paced and I liked it a lot up to the fourth episode. Starting from the fifth chapter, things started to be a little bit too stretched out: there are many long and at times repetitive dialogues that stall the plot. These do not add anything of use to the audience. For a mini series of just seven episodes this is a huge problem. The investigative sequences become dull and illogic. There are at times some incredibly lucky coincidences that are a bit too convenient and that in my perspective ruined the initial setup incredibly.
From a technical perspective, the show looks amazing, the photography manages to capture the cold and inhospitable environment. The few CGI shots are well realized. The cast is composed of many great names, and I was glad to see such big names like Owen Wilson or promising actors like Harris Dickinson and Emma Corrin. 'A Murder at the End of the World' had so much potential, but the development is dull and the ending is incredibly rhetorical and unoriginal. My final mark is 6.5.
