Amateur-Ermittlerin Darby Hart wird gemeinsam mit elf anderen Gästen von einem geheimnisvollen und zurückgezogen lebenden Milliardär an eine abgelegene und schillernde Örtlichkeit eingeladen. Als einer der Gäste tot aufgefunden wird, liegt es an Darby zu beweisen, dass es eben doch Mord war. Doch dabei muss sie gegen allerlei gegensätzliche Interessen ins Felde ziehen – und das, bevor sich der Mörder sein nächstes Opfer sucht.

Acting, sets, script and score all good. Even the dialogue is not bad. I have a weak spot for whodunits and movies taking place in snowy locations so that also helps. It’s true that the show is a little pretentious at times and cheesy at other times but for the most part it is quite good and way over average IMO. Only the first two episodes have come out so far so that’s all I’ve seen. Hopefully won’t go downhill…
I enjoyed the two first episodes. The tech stuff is really well made.
I have been a big fan of this team, and, though I hate to do it, this is just not doing it for me. It seems silly so far and the acting doesn't seem very good to me. I could see it turning around, but I could not make it through episode 2. I would love nothing more than to hear it recovered from a poor start and ends up becomes amazing.
The show deals with the predicament of AI in a very smart way, whilst trying to bring issues to the fore, that people don't think sufficiently about, and most are totally unaware of. The creators rely heavily on the emotional intelligence of the audience to make their point. That said, it does have its share of plot holes, the most glaring of them being the ability of everyone to keep venturing out in subzero temperatures with no protective equipment on... especially Darby following someone without even basic gloves to keep herself warm... anyways that was not the point of the show, so the makers can be forgiven for making some things not making any real world sense. There are a lot of moving parts and some themes are deceptively complex, regardless it is definitely worth a watch. I wish they spent more time fleshing out and exploring the other characters stuck in this universe. The story arc is exactly compelling, and there is a lot of unnecessary and uncalled for social commentary layers. But what drives this show, is the protagonist's unwavering need and zeal to seek the truth, against all odds, including an AI. And it surprisingly and satisfyingly works.
How is this not a massive plot hole? [spoiler] Andy knew at what exact time Bill's morphine levels spiked. And they have a 3D lidar scan record of the entire hotel and beyond. So, they could've easily checked that lidar scan record of that time to see who was in the room with him and thus, find the "killer". [/spoiler] End of story in 1-2 episodes. But nope... they had to drag it for 7 episodes, so they didn't do it.
