Only murders at the billionaire's retreat
Time|November 20, 2023
A MURDER AT THE END OF THE World is a tricky title. It might refer to a murder in a remote location or a murder amid the literal end times. In the case of FX's smart, stylish new drama, it's a true double entendre. The plot works on multiple levels too. Set up as a classic cozy mystery, the detective story grounds an investigation of technology and enterprise in the age of climate apocalypse. Are the world's wealthiest innovators saving humanity or hastening our demise?
