Emma Corrin‘s career hasn’t even completed a decade and she already has an Emmy for Best Actress and is an international star. After an impressive – and award-winning – Princess Diana in The Crown, in the fourth season, Lady Chatterley on Netflix and other notable roles, she leads the cast of the thriller A Murder at the End of the World, where she is an informal detective, like themselves. describe “the Sherlock Homes of Generation Z”.

Created by the same duo as The OA, Sound of My Voice and The East, it combines all current successful elements: technology and suspense, in a modern Agatha Christie style. Originally called Retreat, A Murder at the End of the World was created by actress and director, Brit Marling, also in the cast, and Zal Batmanlij.

Darby Hart (Emma Corrin), a hacker and amateur detective, is invited by a reclusive billionaire (Clive Owen) to attend a retreat in a remote and stunning location, where the eight most unique minds on the planet will find the answers to their problems. that threaten the planet. When one of the guests turns up dead (a former boyfriend of Darby’s), she has to prove it was a murder and prevent further deaths.

Does it seem like more of the same? But you know better? The construction of the suspense is effective, and intelligent, and, at least in the two episodes already available on StarPlus, it is impossible to create theories. It’s mandatory to let yourself go. These days that means a lot.

Darby Hart is an extremely interesting character. Raised by her widowed father and coroner, she accompanied him to crime scenes and from an early age developed an eye for detail, curious and always deciphering mysteries. As she says in one scene, the current murder is her “57th crime scene”, meaning her logical reasoning is essential to effectively be a young Poirot. Especially because, like everyone in her generation, the Internet and Technology are used to her advantage to decipher crimes. But the big secret is the talent of Emma Corrin, who manages to navigate the different eras (the narration is not linear) and moments in the series, with an absolutely undeniable charisma.

For Brazilians, there is curiosity about the presence of Alice Braga in the cast, and yes, I think she is one of the biggest suspects so far. I’m going to wait until Tuesday to see the next episode and make my guess, but you can count on it not missing it for anything!
