Thanks to streaming platforms like Hulu, Netflix, and Disney+, there's a murder mystery for every kind of movie and TV lover. Are you into family dramas? Grab the popcorn and press play on Knives Out. New York City lovers (and Selena Gomez fans) can binge watch the first three seasons of Only Murders In the Building before we get season four, while I've seen Why Didn't They Ask Evans? three times and cannot recommend it enough! The newest iteration of the murder mystery, Death And Other Details, dropped on Hulu in January 2024, so here's everything you need to know before you curl up on the couch with your coziest blanket to watch the newest episode.

While Death and Other Details has a lot of similarities to other popular murder mysteries like Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile or White Lotus, it takes a unique approach to telling the story that sets it apart from other stories in the genre. Plus, even the most respected characters are multi-dimensional, flawed, and rough around the edges in a way that makes them feel like real people — even if they're in the middle of a crazy story.
