A Murder at the End of the World _ TV, 2023

[lserver362reviews]

GAH, I loved this so so much!

A techie gen z feminist Knives Out 2 in Iceland with a perfect soundtrack and awesome cinematography! I watched this show with my pal, Pat, and we are huge fans of the OA so we were looking forward to checking this out. Such great characters, and yes I'm biased towards Harris Dickinson (Bill Farrah was so written by a woman!), but Emma Corrin was seriously giving baby Jodie Foster and I came to really love Darby Hart. We did keep asking why she would trust Ray from the start but I think that's due to growing up in the soup of ubiquitous technology. I also freaked out seeing my girl, Josie Packard from Twin Peaks! Joan Chen is as stunning as ever. Clive Owen also nailed it in this role. At first I felt that he was no Jason Isaacs but his outbursts were played perfectly and I really enjoyed his screentime. Ryan J. Haddad also really came out of the wood work towards the end there as a great character. I love that this show allowed everyone a bit of time with Darby as to have us as the audience ask, okay do we trust them? I am delighted by the quintessential moment of the ensemble being questioned around the sofas at the end of the show. Very Agatha Christie. I'm not typically a murder-mystery person nor a true crime person but I really really love the way these two genres were handled with such a fresh and emotionally grounded way. The realism in this show is lovely. Some people have said it was heavy handed and I completely disagree. The show and the character's dialogue remain extremely humanity focused. I often watched with a cup of tea in hand, in light of Darby never wearing enough, and it made me grateful for warmth. From the No More I Love You's scene I was hooked on this show, and while some people have said the ending was a letdown or predictable, I disagree, even though I did guess it during the last episode. The emotional weight of the twist was a gut punch of AI and where we're at and could be headed. Very brave and moving stuff me thinks. For all of the tech featured there was so so much life. It's the relationships and our emotions that reign as the important takeaway. Our bonds to each other and the power of that. I don't know how Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij did it again but I should have never doubted that they could. Some silly thoughts include, never trust a Gemini and RIP Darby Hart's mom's ipod.

Back to you

Mikey x male reader

Omegaverse, angst, attempted suicide, depression, mentions of miscarriage

🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑

(name) was silent as he listened to the saved voice mails of his once fiance, Mikey's warm voice as he spoke about their plans and the soft "I love you" before they ended, he was always so gentle when speaking to (name).

He was always so wonderful to (name).

He worked so hard for (name) especially after the Takemichi incident, he and takemichi actually grew quite close over the years.

"Don't stay up too late, Sanzu and I got business... I love you" Mikey's voice spoke out before the audio clip ended and (name) was left in silence, tears streaming down his eyes as he whispered a watery "I love you" back, body slumped slightly as a sob broke through his body.

He took care of Grandpa Sano till his passing, the house given to (name) when he died and (name) became a recluse, each room exactly how it was left, Emma's room unchanged.

It was a time capsule of broken memories.

(Name) kept everything clean and tidy, taking the spare room as his own and keeping keepsakes of his family now gone, a shrine of his three siblings.

He always put their favorite desserts and foods out for them, shrines in the empty dojo for each member of the Sano family Izana included, photos of each of them.

He hoped they rested easy.

Mikey was never the same after leaving (name), his beloved Omega, his everything.

Sanzu locked his pain away with drugs, guilt filling him for abandoning his beloved younger brother, the only sibling he claimed and valued deeply.

Takeomi pretended nothing was wrong but his heart clenched at the sight of anything or anyone reminding him of the omega.

Mikey didn't eat much, he didn't sleep really either.

He could feel the pain from (name) in the claim mark, he bit (name) during his rut but (name) never got a chance to return it during his heat, Mikey forced to feel it all.

The abandonment.

The suffering.

The heartache.

Every night like clockwork was when it was at its worse, like it started all over again.

And it was all Mikey's fault.

The two had been engaged since they were children, been through the good and the bad and Mikey left (name) with OAS (Omega abandonment syndrome).

Mikey was living in the life of luxury while (name) lived alone and broken.

Mikey kept close tabs on (name), he was obsessed with him-- he always was.

(Name) was perfect.

He had pictures of him, regularly getting updates on every aspect of his life and every little moment he had.

Draken got (name) a dog, it helped a little.

It got him out at least, (name) regularly going out to walk the pooch.

"It's for the best" he would tell himself, it's what all three of them would tell themselves.

(Name) walked with Draken, the Alpha always the big brother figure to him, he was supposed to be his brother in law after all. The tall mechanic decided to give (name) a job at his shop with Inupi, the passive blond never really interacted with (name), Draken explaining his situation and the therapy (name) was going through. (Name) made strides compared to how he was in the beginning, when Mikey abandoned him... (Name)... He... Draken hated thinking about it.

(Name) was good at the job, the consistency with social interactions distracting the Omega and he even laughed once, even if it was only slight.

"Move?"

"Yeah, inupis boyfriend and him want to live together and I offered to move out so they can have the apartment"

"Are you still looking?" (Name) asked softly and Draken grunted "yeah, preferably something close"

"... You could stay with me"

Draken accepted it, (name) and him packed up grandpa sanos belongings, some things spaced around the house but many things out in Mikey's former room (Draken had to put it in as (name) refused to enter that room), Draken moving in the same week.

Mikey looked at the pictures and didn't know how to feel though the mics and cameras in the apartment showed Drakens genuine concern for the Omega, helping him move on from the 'deaths' of all his loved ones.

"You kept these?" Drakens voice through the recording was shocked and almost heartbroken, Mikey leaning into his seat as he watched the recording "I couldn't get rid of them... I have a box of memories as well"

Mikey was shocked as the Kanto and Toman jackets were lifted, they were in perfect condition, Mikey thought he got rid of those...

"I miss him" (name) croaked out and Draken held him close "did you know I was pregnant when he left?"

Mikey froze as he heard this, Sanzu walking in as he heard it "pregnant?" Both Sanzu and Draken said in shock.

"Yeah, a little girl... I hoped she would look like Mikey... I always teased him that he would make a pretty girl" (name) said with a lifeless chuckle and everything clicked for Draken.

This is why he couldn't move on.

"I had a whole dinner planned for telling him, do you think he would have been happy?"

"Yes..." Mikey whispered broken, he would have been over the moon! He would have lifted (name) and carried him around, never letting him lift a finger and and... He killed his baby.

He was the worst.

"I was wondering... If you maybe wanted to go out sometime?" A customer asked (name), the Omega shocked as he fiddled with his fingers "uh... I'm sorry I'm not looking for a relationship right now" he mumbled looking stressed out and leaned away, he had stopped saying he was married anymore.

The concept of a relationship was hard for (name), who would want him? A broken Omega widow?

It also felt like a betrayal.

He was betraying his alpha...

But Mikey was also dead.

Mikey was dead.

(Name) was sitting in his room thinking about this, maybe it was time he go on a date.

(Name) wanted to cry.

His date didn't show up.

(Name) felt defeated as he stood up and left the restaurant, tears staining the nice clothes Mitsuya put together for him, walking down the street with a distant look.

He decided to take an alternative route, wanting to eat some sweets at a bakery he knew stayed open late.

(Name) was in a haze as he walked, staring at the road before him and walking into it.

He stared down a truck barreling towards him when he was ripped away "ARE YOU INSANE?!" a voice screamed at him and (name) just stared off before glancing up.

"Oh I'm dead..." (Name) mumbled as he stared at Sanzu, so broken and lifeless was the man before Sanzu.

"You're not dead! You almost fucking died! Why would you do that?!"

Because he wanted to see his loved ones.

He just wanted to be with his family.

He lost so much.

Emma.

Senju.

His brothers and his beloved.

"I lost it so bad I'm hallucinating..." (Name) laughed to himself as Sanzu looked at his brother in horror, had (name) been that emotionally damaged by them leaving him?

(Name) stood up and began wandering off, clothes tattered and scrapes on his body and Sanzu didn't trust him to be left alone.

(Name) sat on the leather couches, taken to god knows where but he didn't particularly care.

He didn't care what happened anymore.

He was already hallucinating his dead loved ones.

Glancing around he took in the high end building and the large clear window of Tokyo, wandering to look out of it.

He wondered how fast he would die at this height.

"(Name)?" A voice took (name) from his thoughts and he turned to see Takeomi, the other in shock "you're not real" (name) said simply as he looked at Takeomi up and down "(name)... I'm real" takeomi said to his brother who scoffed and returned to look out the window.

Takeomi walked towards him and reached out but got a volatile reaction instead "don't fucking touch me! Is this some sick fucking joke?! Let's get people who look like the poor omegas dead loved ones and emotionally torment him!" (Name) cried out as he stepped away, shaking and just every emotion he repressed came out as he began crying hysterically. He was so angry and just done, screaming his frustrations onto the other and hyperventilating to the point he felt dizzy.

His screaming and angry caught the attention of the rest of Bonten, Mikey stepping out to see his beloved being held by takeomi while struggling and screaming.

"Look! There's Mikey!"

(Name) was sobbing and absolutely furious as he locked eyes with his mate and at this point absolutely lost it, not noticing takeomi putting pressure against his neck before the world went dark.

Mikey didn't leave his mates side, the closest he had been in a long time, he knew he shouldn't have but crawled in the bed and held (name) close in his lap, kissing his temple.

"I'm so sorry... I shouldn't have left you" Mikey whispered, he wasn't going to let him go anymore.

He just hoped (name) wouldn't despise him when he woke.

In your latest collaboration, the FX series A Murder at the End of the World, out November 14, an eccentric billionaire, played by Clive Owen, ­summons an eclectic group of strangers to his exclusive enclave in ­Iceland, where one of them winds up dead. Emma Corrin plays Darby Hart, a writer who investigates that death. Like your series The OA, A Murder at the End of the World combines technology, otherworldliness, and intrigue in a story that takes place in the not-too-distant future. But let’s go backward: How did you two meet? Zal Batmanglij: I met Brit when we were both at Georgetown University. This was a few decades ago, and the school was having their first-ever film festival. My friend Mike and I had made two short films, and Brit, who was 18 and a freshman, led the standing ovation for our movies. I thought, Who is this magical girl? She was so blonde, like Cosette in Les Misérables coming to life...We became aware, as we got older, that queer folks and women make great creative partnerships. Look at Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe, Nan Goldin and David Armstrong. Queer people and women—we inspire each other!

re: a murder at the end of the world, yeah brit and zal are just so perfect at stories that leaves you with more, haven't seen writers who write stuff that i absolutely love, like the vibes? perfect! brit shared it's the show i've been waiting for to get me out of my tv slump. yeah it'll probably nod to the OA since brit mentioned wanting to continue telling the story but nothing more than that, that gen z comment was bit weird, i hear gen z and think of a teenager on tiktok lol brit shared a video on ig about some behind the scene process of the show, and i need more of this, her work is filled with so much love and care i want to hear her talk for hours about it tbh

by most parameters, Gen Z are predominantly in or close to early adulthood. I just thought it was weird because I'm very close to Darby/Emma in age and at most I'm considered a "cusper" but defs not Gen Z. Also I find generational markers being used as identities really frustrating because they have no basis in any sociology and were thought of by 2 thirty somethings who wanted to sell their DIY marketing book. but ANYWAYS

I think it's not just brit but also zal and who they bring into realise their vision. I saw Rebecca Roanhorse was also credited as a writer on the series and she's an incredible First Nations sci-fi author. It's not just the love Zal and Brit bring to their work but the respect for the perspectives of their collaborators! on insta brit was sharing posts from the costume designer talking about the importance of the shapes of the jewellery worn by Darby. It's the attention to detail! It's so delicious! It makes everything feel so real and compelling even when it's strange!

I think if there are any OA references (idt there will be because it feels like it's own thing), but if there is it will be around the missing persons thing (because OA also focused on the impact of missing people). OR it will be about the hacking dreams idea in the OA maybe idk!! Can't wait to soak it all in and think about it forever regardless!

Screener Squad: A Murder at the End of the World A MURDER AT THE END OF THE WORLD SERIES REVIEW After the abrupt and cruel cancellation of the popular and surreal Netflix sci-fi series The OA in 2019, fans have been waiting to see what the collaborative creative team Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij would conjure up next. The answer is, Hulu/FX’s  A Murder at the End of the World. Hacker and true crime novelist Darby Hart (Emma Corrin) has been invited to a top secret retreat in Iceland by tech bajillionare and self proclaimed future savior of the world Andy Ronson (Clive Owen).

A Murder at the End of the World

[3 stars]

Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, the duo behind the highly underrated The OA, are back again with their particular brand of the weird and unexpected. The latest isn’t quite as unpredictable as pervious efforts, but the story continues to open in depth and danger as it goes along.

The lead reins go to Emma Corrin (My Policeman) in this series. She quietly dominates the action both through innate charisma on screen and her intensity. The rest of the cast is generally good, but with few standouts. Of course Marling is one of those by design. But surprisingly Clive Owen (Ophelia) is not quite as effective or believable for much of the story. A powerful presence to be sure, but not, for lack of a better word, natural. But I suppose billionaires rarely come across as fully human anyway. And his motivations are rather banal (or seem to be).

Of the supporting folks, it is only Alice Braga (Hypnotic) that really stood out for me. Her character bridges Corrin’s and Owen’s world for the story and the audience, making her a bit more interesting than the rest.

On the downside, it really feels like Marling and Batmanglij skewed their writing to the mainstream this time in an over-reaction to the cancellation of the OA. The balance of the action is off, with lots of information that is never used and too much time in the past that is there only for the final moment. In addition, the finale was rushed and aspects over-simplified (read: silly). Honestly, to my mind they’re better writers than what got delivered. The result is that the series feels like it originally had a different ending in mind but it got dragged back into the mundane.

However, the mystery is completely fair. You do have the info you need. I was way ahead of big chunks of it, though still had to wait till the end to be sure. For me it was a little disappointing, but only because I saw and wanted so many more interesting possibilities. Check it out when you have time. This is a duo worth supporting and the story isn’t uninteresting, and it does tackle some challenging material.

Where to watch

[meret118]

Based just on the trailer I doubt I would watch this, but it's by the creator of The OA, (Talk about Netflix leaving an audience hanging!), so I'll check it out.

Hidden Gems and Unsung Heroes from The Golden Age of Television

I'm sure there are any number of brilliant, obscure programs that I have never see or heard of to this point, but of those I have - these are among the criminally underappreciated or unknown programs in this era of long from visual story telling that haven't yet gotten their proper due.

All of these shows above are challenging and cerebral with iconic performances, characters, stories, and themes that stand out. These shows truly went for it, way out there, and fully committed to showing guts, being provocative, strange, sensitive, satirical, and metaphysical - and posing questions that mind fuck you into challenging your own world view and reexamining all of the presuppositions and perceptions inside your reality tunnel. And just to mindfuck you in general, for its own sake, as we all need our snowglobes shaken up occasionally if not frequently.
