just watched the first season of The Afterparty in one sitting. i like their interpretation of the Rashomon concept, clearly in response to Knives Out, but each person's subjective story is a different film genre. one's even animated! there's Sesame Street puppets in another! it's well done, but (spoiler alert) i saw the murderer coming and was still disappointed by how they handled it. even 15 years later(!), the potential of romance reigns supreme over the facts of close friendship. not to be ace on main, but the show shoots its most believable, compelling relationship in the foot. and for what?

i kept waiting for them to provide a Knives Out approach, to acknowledge that sometimes, irredeemable people remain irredeemable (something they managed with other members of the cast, like the Jennifers—a fantastic performance from Tiya Sircar by the way) and you know what? crime is a little bit okay sometimes. And instead, they attempt to convince the audience to hate one of the most likable characters. yes, that's part of it—and sure, there's a Murder of Roger Ackroyd kind of shock to the intimacy of the betrayal. but The Afterparty fails to make their murderer any less human or their victim any more sympathetic.

emotionally, seeing a fairly well-justified criminal get his comeuppance and be abandoned by the friend he clearly cares the most for doesn't grant me, as an audience member, any kind of satisfaction or narrative fulfillment. for all The Afterparty's excellent casting choices and creative narrative concept (despite some awkward acting and choppy sound editing at times, though their acting as teenagers in a 2006 flashback? honestly fantastic) ultimately, the show's denouement falls flat. If you'll allow the choice of metaphors, The Afterparty shows promise but fails to stick the landing. It's a 2000s song that ends with nothing but a slow fade into silence

Do you guys ever think about how the people who had previously hired Yasper to install their equipment must have felt?

Person: Holy shit, honey come here! The guy who installed our AV system killed Xavier!

i love ben schwartz and his characters so much he means so much to me

[wow-its-me]

OKAY THE WAY THAT YASPER LITERALLY COMMITTED A MURDER AND THEN IMMEDIATELY MADE HIS WITNESS STATEMENT INTO A MUSICAL AND PERFORMED THREE SONGS TO THE DETECTIVE

THE WAY YASPER FOCUSED ON PROVING THAT ANIQ WAS INNOCENT INSTEAD OF HIDING HIS OWN GUILT

THE FACT THAT YASPER STOOD BY HIS FRIEND EVEN THOUGH IT MENT THE DETECTIVE FIGURING HIM OUT

THE FACT THAT HE PLUGGED HUS MUSIC WHILE BEING DRAGGED AWAY BY POLICE

[spaceheroes]

ironic that season 2 of the afterparty features adderall when i know that could've fixed yasper

[tired-and-ever-so-gay]

Y’all Aniq is based in ways not even I can comprehend. Not I have not finished season one. Yes I am currently watching season two. Yes I very vaguely know what happens in the end and am emotionally preparing.

But I will still push the Aniq Yasper addenda, fight me.
