## Synopsis

Death and Other Details (2024) is an American whodunit mystery series created by Mike Weiss and Heidi Cole McAdams for Hulu. Mandy Patinkin plays Rufus Cotesworth, once the world's greatest detective, who is drawn into a murder investigation alongside his protege Imogene, played by Violett Beane. Their hunt takes place aboard a luxurious ocean liner sailing the Mediterranean, a floating enclosure packed with wealthy and powerful passengers who are all hiding something. Each suspect carries secrets, and the central engine is a classic closed-circle puzzle: who among them is the killer, and how far will each guest go to keep their past buried. Anna Collier, played by Lauren Patten, and Sunil Ranja, played by Rahul Kohli, add further layers of suspicion to the shifting alliances on deck. The ten-episode season is a single continuing investigation with a mystery-box structure, making it a contained, one-season limited run. The series blends a sardonic, glossy tone with a thoughtful meditation on truth in a post-fact world, where evidence itself is contested. Fans of Death on the Nile, Only Murders in the Building and Poker Face will find resonance in its polished, witty sleuthing and its appetite for elegant, character-driven puzzles.
