AIGHT Y'ALL IT'S TIME FOR A FNULR REVIEW... AGAIN
Today's subject:
Death and other details
A mystery series on Hulu/Disney plus depending on region
I loved this show, I really did! But I do think it has its flaws. If you expect a classic whodunnit in the style of Agatha Christie, that's not what you'll get
But! You will get a wonderfully fun artistically interesting crime show. It has twists and surprises, it has character building and tension.
The dialogue isn't the focal point of the show but damn it really does have some pearls of wonder occasionally
The intro and general art style is magnificent and I have not a single complaint about the acting
My personal biggest gripe (and my note to anyone who decides to watch this now... Which I know is 0)
Is that the last epilogue is 100% setup for a season 2
And since the show has been cancelled
It doesn't really add to anything
Let me make it clear there is a twist in there that might give some perspective to other things BUT it is not necessary for the story to make sense and be good
10/10 I loved Death and other details

I saw this go up on Hulu, and I decided it might be worth checking out. Historically, I am not really a murder mystery person; on the other hand, I found things like the Benoit Blanc movies and Only Murders in the Building to be fun, so I thought I’d give this one a shot! A high-budget, stylish murder mystery set on a luxury cruise liner–there’s potential here.
It only lasted one season, though.
Hm…
Death and Other Details is about our heroine, Imogen Scott, who is on a luxury cruise with the Collier family, who pretty much adopted her after her mother was mysteriously murdered during her childhood. There are plenty of colorful characters on this cruise, including Rufus Cotesworth, an investigator once hailed as “The World’s Greatest Detective,” but who failed to solve the murder of Imogen’s mother. When one of the guests on the cruise is murdered, Imogen and Rufus must team up again to find the killer–and how it connects to what happened years ago in Imogen’s childhood.
Alright, so here’s the thing: despite being billed as such, and people comparing it to things like Only Murders in the Building, this is not a murder mystery. Okay, it has one, and it’s a mystery about a murder, but the story on the whole is not that kind of story. It’s more of a crime/conspiracy thriller. The events of the murder all tie into a larger web of deceit and an internationally-reaching crime boss who keeps having his name passed around.
It’s also not entirely confined to this ship? There’s an episode where Imogen and another character hop off for a day on nearby Malta, which makes for wonderful scenery, but makes me think that it undermines the entire schtick the show’s going for–a story confined to a specifically limited location.
I am also quite frustrated in that the show has one major way of starting drama: putting characters in an affair. There are other sources of drama, to be sure, but that’s the one that comes up constantly, as if the writers couldn’t think of any other way to make characters interesting than, “Hey, look! This person’s having sex with someone they’re not supposed to!” Even if this is your kind of drama, I think it happening so often in this show would get old rather quickly. There came a point when the show revealed two characters are secretly sleeping together, and by that point I was so bored of the “twist” that I didn’t realize it was meant to be a surprise at all.
Random side note: I do appreciate that this is a show with a sketchy priest, and he is not Catholic. At least, I don’t think so? It’s unclear. One character speculates he’s Episcopal. Given he has an openly-acknowledged son who is a social media star and not a scandal/requires explanation, and that he keeps changing shirt colors, it seems like ‘Catholic’ is not what they were going for.
When we get to the end of the story, there’s a massive twist that doesn’t feel quite earned. TV Tropes tells me that some people saw it coming because of one detail, but me being bad with faces, I didn’t notice it. Either way, I don’t think this twist works, because it asks us to go back and revise way too many things and doubt the intelligence of most of the cast of characters in the show. The unreliability of memory is a motif in the show, sure, but there’s only so far you can take this. Showing the audience one thing over and over, and then saying that actually it didn’t happen like that, is pretty close to straight-up lying to them and doesn’t make a good story.
I wanted to like this show more than I did. It didn’t work though; despite the show clearly framing itself as clever, most of the important uncovered secrets amounted to love affairs, and the resolution didn’t feel earned. I wasn’t a fan of how it wasn’t even really a murder mystery to begin with, but a crime thriller. The performances are good, I guess? Yeah, it’s stylish, I guess, and there’s sex, though if you need more to your television mysteries than that (and I hope you do), we can do better than Death and Other Details.

Out of all the Hamilton kiddos, who got sick the most?
It appears it was Philip, who likely inherited his father's immune system, or rather lack thereof.
Usually when the children got sick, it was very few times, and often recovered from swiftly. Philip caught illnesses that were almost fatal twice, but it was truly only once everyone was nearly certain he wasn't going to make it. I already wrote a whole post about that time in the September of 1797. And there's also this bittersweet quote from Hosack.
But there's actually a lesser known case of Philip catching yellow fever the year after nearly dying, in 1798, because there was a minor yellow fever epidemic happening in New York. That proved to be harsh as the Hamilton's lost a servant due to the passing ailment, and apparently Charles Cotesworth Pinckney had to have his trip delayed.
As Philip Schuyler wrote to Elizabeth in fear of the epidemic;
“The accounts we have of the prevalence of the Yellow Fever at NYork and of its progress thro every part of the city, have exuded the most painful sensations. Citizens are quitting city, to fly from the effects of this fatal disorder and as yet I do not learn that any preparations are making on your part to leave It. I have written to my Dear Hamilton, I have urged him not—”
(source — Philip Schuyler to Elizabeth Hamilton, [August 31, 1798])
Four illustrations show the progression of yellow fever, by Etienne Pariset and André Mazet [1820]
Yellow fever was quite deadly, the symptoms was usually pain in the abdomen or muscle. Or chills, fatigue, fever, or loss of appetite. Even nausea, or vomiting blood. Also delirium, headache, or yellow skin and eyes.
During the Quasi-war, Hamilton was meant to be in Philadelphia on the first of November, to meet with Washington and a few others regarding the military. But he writes to Washington saying that people in his family have caught ill;
“Some ill health in my family, now at an end as I hope, interfered with an earlier acknowlegement of your favour of the 21st instant. The contents cannot but be gratifying to me.
It is my intention, if not prevented by further ill health in my family, to proceed on the first of November to Trenton. My aid to the Secretary to the full extent of what he shall permit me to afford will not be withheld. But every day brings fresh room to apprehend that whatever may be the props the administration of the war department cannot prosper in the present very well disposed but very unqualified hands.”
(source — From Alexander Hamilton to George Washington, [October 29, 1798])
Prior to this though, Troup mentions to Rufus King that Hamilton had secured his children - aside from Philip, as he was attending Columbia at this point in time - with General Schuyler;
“Col. Hamilton, Mr. Church and their families have also remained in town, except for a few days past, when out of compliance with the pressing solicitations of Genl. Schuyler they took rooms a few miles out of town ; but they have spent the greatest part of the time in town.”
(source — Robert Troup to Rufus King, [October 2, 1798])
And that is who exactly caught ill, as Mary Pinckney wrote to Elizabeth saying that the rest of her sons were fine and Philip had finally recovered;
“Had I never before regretted that I was a coward I should certainly do it now as this weakness has prevented me the pleasure of paying you my personal respects in New York, & thanking you for the favor of your visit to me at Newark. It is the fate of wanderers who are so happy as to make agreeable acquaintances to know the misery of being separated from them, & I shall long regret being so near you without being able to see you more frequently.
I hope the illness in your family has entirely subsided, & that you have nothing to fear for your sons.
I learnt with pleasure from Mrs. _____ that Philip Hamilton is entirely recovered.”
(source — Columbia University, Hamilton Papers Publication Project. Via; @theelizapapers)
And alas, Hamilton made it on the 10th, and assured Elizabeth that Angelica was escorting Philip to Elizabeth Town;
“I wrote to you, My Eliza, from Trenton. Yesterday afternoon I arrived at this place. I have yielded to the pressing solicitations of Mr. Wolcott to take up my abode at his house, which you know is at the corner of Spruce and Fourth Streets. Mrs Wolcott is in better health than she was but is still very thin and feeble. Without much more care than the thing is worth, her stay in this terrestrial scene is not likely to be long. She desires her affectionate compliments to you.
I am quite well, but I know not what impertinent gloom hangs over my mind, which I fear will not be entirely dissipated until I rejoin my family. A letter from you telling me that you and my dear Children are well will be a consolation. I presume before this reaches you Mrs Church and Philip will have gone to Elisabeth Town.”
(source — From Alexander Hamilton to Elizabeth Hamilton, [November 10, 1798])
Hamilton was quite often depressed whenever his family was separated from one another, and was growing weary from the children constantly getting sick with the city air. And thus this was the milestone in his final idea of just moving up to Albany with all of his family, to escape the sicknesses and so they could all stick together.

The real question on everyone’s minds after watching “Death and Other Details”: Was Rufus Cotesworth writing in a brown passport-size Traveler’s Notebook with an extra-wide elastic? (Yes, I am super-fun to watch TV shows with.)
