The Afterparty premieres with three episodes on Apple TV+ on Jan. 28.
Murder mysteries have long been a TV staple, from Columbo’s feature-length episodes to Jessica Fletcher’s amateur sleuthing on Murder, She Wrote. Now, Apple TV+ has thrown its hat into the crime-solving ring with The Afterparty, and this addition to the streamer’s growing library offers a playful twist on an all-too-familiar genre. Showrunner Chris Miller (creative partner Phil Lord is an executive producer) has assembled a cast packed with performers equipped to hit the hilarious and emotional beats of a whodunnit told from multiple perspectives. The three-episode premiere avoids repetition thanks to the genre-blending set-up and leaves you wanting more.
“The same thing could happen but you see it in a different way. I want to hear your mind movie,” Danner explains to the remaining guests at Xavier’s residence. It is from Danner’s unusual evidence-gathering technique that the genre-mashing conceit is born, but it isn’t the first time individual perspective has been wielded to raise doubt. Akira Kurosawa’s 1950 psychological thriller Rashomon is still the definitive example of how different perspectives can lead to contradictory recollections of a crime, but there have been different attempts over the years to play with this idea of memory. More recently, Showtime’s The Affair used this approach to explore infidelity and a hit-and-run killing to depict an unreliable narrator. Nevertheless, the “mind movie” framing is a fun spin on gathering evidence that taps into recognizable tropes.
Establishing the rules and comedic tone early in the first episode helps set the mood. Cameos from some Lord and Miller regulars (who we won’t spoil here) flesh out Xavier’s level of fame and Franco effectively dials up the insufferable celebrity levels in a flashy purple suit worn without a shirt. No one seems too sad about his demise and his home is largely dedicated to images of himself. Because so much time is spent in this one location (as well as the high school), it helps that production designer Tina Tholke has decked out Xavier’s abode with an array of focus-pulling decor.

Cycling through the same night using this framework means we get to see the same locations using a different lens, which includes different lighting schemes, color palettes, music, and camera techniques. Even if you aren’t a rom-com fan, the major beats are recognizable, and The Afterparty is successful as both a whodunnit and genre study. It is more playful than, say, last year’s Kevin Can F*** Himself, which combined comedy and gritty drama to varying results. While some jokes do fall flat in The Afterparty (particularly the second episode), they are typically followed by a punchier line.
The Afterparty quickly establishes its format-shifting rules and taps into familiar genres to deliver a murder mystery with a twist. It is still early days, but after three episodes, the high school reunion is a compelling backdrop from both a whodunnit and comedy perspective. Sam Richardson gets to shine as the lead and the one crime Ben Schwartz ...
