“Where were you between midnight and 8AM?” Hulu has revealed the official trailer for another murder mystery comedy series titled Death and Other Details, which will begin streaming this month. This 10-episode series is set on a cruise ship sailing around the Mediterranean, borrowing from Agatha Christie, of course. It also fits in nicely along side other modern murder mystery series like The Afterparty, Poker Face, and Rian Johnson’s Knives Out films. Set amidst the glamor of the global elite, Death and Other Details centers on the brilliant & restless Imogene, who finds herself in the wrong place & wrong time becoming the prime suspect in a locked room murder mystery. She is confronted by Detective Rufus Cotesworth. Together they dig for the truth on a wealthy sailing boat where everyone is hiding something. The series stars Violett Beane as Imogene & Mandy Patinkin as Rufus, Lauren Patten, Rahul Kohli, Angela Zhou, Hugo Diego Garcia, Pardis Saremi, and Linda Emond. The pilot is directed by filmmaker Marc Webb (of 500 Days of Summer, The Amazing Spider-Man, “Rebel” series). This is actually pretty good – worth a look.
