Aniq
Following a shocking death at a high school reunion’s afterparty,
... More Detective Danner grills Aniq, who recounts the night like a rom-com.LessTiffany Haddish is a detective at the centre of this murder-mystery comedy series where a high school reunion afterparty turns fatal. From Lord and Miller, the creative team behind Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and 21 Jump Street.
Each of the eight episodes feature a retelling of the same night told through a different character’s perspective, each with its own unique visual format and film genre to match the teller’s personality.
LessChristopher Miller and Phil Lord (Spider-Verse, Jump Street) strike comedy gold yet again with this ensemble mystery. Its Rashomon-style approach (retelling events from various perspectives) soars thanks to a superb cast and multi-genre approach.
The meeting point of Rashomon with the self-referential, punchline-deferring humour of comedies such as Community and The Good Place.

Full reviewExceedingly delightful, cleverly constructed, adeptly acted comedy-mystery.
Full reviewWhile the cast... are generally likeable, and there’s a certain freshness about its commitment to being two things at once... it isn’t amusing enough to be enjoyed as pure comedy.
Full reviewIt's smart, with thoughtful ideas to offer those who feel like engaging with them - but it's concerned first and foremost with having a good time.
Full reviewThe Afterparty: Season 1 is available to stream in New Zealand now on Apple TV+.
