Season 1 Review:
With a host of embargoed topics we can’t reveal, I can attest that Death and Other Details is more complex than expected and gets smarter and more clever as it goes along. Beane and Patinkin are an excellent entry into the pantheon of mystery duos, and I’m looking forward to seeing if they stick the landing in the final two installments.

Season 1 Review:
While so many Agatha Christie-influenced murder-mysteries get bogged down in the macabre, Death And Other Details remembers that these stories should be a blast. Mandy Patinkin and his recruited assistant Imogene (Violett Bean) are utterly charming, and the show is a hoot, even if the crimes themselves aren't particularly engaging.

Season 1 Review:
Not perfectly plausible, in big and little ways, but its energy and reveals upon reveals make that moot. Patinkin, in an indefinable accent, is his usual Big Presence, but Beane holds her own, and the arrival of Linda Emond as Interpol agent Hilde Eriksen pays constant comic dividends.

Season 1 Review:
Hulu's Death and Other Details has all the makings of a great whodunit: entitled rich people living their best lives, an outsider who has infiltrated the inner circle, the working class that hates them all, and a disgraced detective trying to make a splashy comeback. So it's disappointing that, in reality, the series never quite pops.

Season 1 Review:
I’d have preferred five genuinely complex characters to two dozen attractive chess pieces, which is Death and Other Details in a nutshell. Maybe 75 percent homage and 25 percent revisionist, Death and Other Details consistently stands out for doing the most, but rarely stands out for doing the best.

Season 1 Review:
There’s an old saying that the devil is in the details, meaning it’s the little stuff that can muck up a larger scheme. In “Death and Other Details,” by contrast, it’s the grinding nature of the whole exercise, rather than any individual aspect, that ultimately sinks a project that appears to operate on cruise control.
