Summary
A high school reunion takes a turn for the macabre as one of the attendees is found dead.
I thought this was a great series, one of the best I have seen in a while. It totally nails most of what it is going for and delivers laughs, shocks and sweet moments fairly on the regular.
I enjoyed the format and thought the idea of having each person’s story be told through a different genre formatting was a really interesting idea that let the show play around with a lot, it also helped keep the show feeling fresh.
I thought the whole cast was strong and each had their own moment to shine over the course of the series. It really is a testament to what a talented and committed cast can achieve. Moreover, this series also features Jamie Demetriou which as a fan of Stath Lets Flats is a big win for me: I thought his character of Walt was frequently a scene stealer.
I thought the mystery as a whole was well done and thought out as it proved my predictions for who the killer was to be inaccurate and surprised me with its reveal, which again is a tick for me.
Overall, one of the best shows on Apple TV for sure.
Pros.
It is funny
It has a good mystery
The cast are all really good
It plays around with different genres and formats
Demetriou
Cons.
Whilst the wrap up reveal was good it felt a little convenient in places.
