    A final thought I had was we know that Danny's notebook was missing from his murder scene. Then all his bedside items were randomly on the side table in the room where they were taking bids. I'm presuming this was a set up by Kira, expecting her daughter to thieve the notebook and to discover her. But wow, that is a BIG assumptive set up that so many things could have gone wrong.
    Overall, I enjoyed the final reveal of Viktor Sams and how Kira made the transition. I did not like that she herself had succumbed to the corrupt power she was trying to dismantle. Comeuppance! I also enjoyed the revelation of what a good guy Tripp really is, not leaving without his family and looking after his declining father.
    Can't wait for season 2. 😀

      Tripp turned out to be good and Imogene was so hyper focused on solving the case she didn’t care about anyone’s well being
      And yea what if Imogene didn’t steal that notebook they are all screwed
      Some weak threads pulled it along but I do hope we get a season 2

  • @117Derek
    @117Derek 4 месяца назад +5

    I had a lot of wild guesses over the weeks--one of which was that Kira was Hilde AND Victor Sams. So, I feel good about it. And, I also agree big time with you about the ending really working--even with the "suspension-of-disbelief" issues that you point out.
    Regarding the not recognizing Kira problem: I LOVE your reference to "Murder in Three Acts." I watched & have a copy of the Peter Ustinov made-for-tv version, mainly because Emma Samms is so, so HOT. And, yes, the disguised character twist works very, very well. Every time I watch the video, I'm taken aback about how well they pull it off; even when I'm looking at the "fake" character in the scene.
    My thought about Kira/Hilde is that the show should have simply hired TWO actresses. There are enough female actors who are look-a-likes, that they could have made it work. Right off the top of my head: Ali Larter as the young Kira, and Nicole Forrester as the Hilde/Kira. And there are plenty of others they could choose from.
    Regarding the resolutions to the many mysteries, the one item I totally missed was Anna killing her mother. In fact, right after your final theories video, I was going to post a comment about how wrong that theory is--but didn't get around to it. However, in my own defense: Anna losing control and hitting her mother, IS out of character. Tripp is the child with anger issues, so I would have accepted him as Katherine's killer more readily.
    In summary, (a) thanks for hosting these discussions; (b) so far this year, "Death and Other Details" is the BEST mystery show...far better than "A Murder at the End of the World" and "Monsieur Spade"--both of whom fell apart in their finales; and, just before coming onto your site, I read that the "Death and Other Details" producers are very optimistic about a second season--with Imogene, Laila, Jules, and Teddy (and I assume Rufus). So we may all be back together.

    • @NerdsAtNite
      @NerdsAtNite  4 месяца назад

      Yea I remember you bringing that theory up
      Oh dang no way you have a physical copy of that how cool
      I will be breaking that down after I drop my dead mans folly vid hopefully this Saturday or next depending on if I can finish editing I’m like 40% done
      And yes another actress would’ve been a great move for the Kira Hilde switcharoo
      They did it so much better in murder in 3 acts with the same actor tho so idk why they couldn’t make it work here
      And you’re welcome thanks for all your awesome comments and yea I hope we get picked up for another season cause this has been a super fun ride breaking this down

      @@NerdsAtNite The make-up in "Murder in 3 Acts" was the key. It worked well with the actor--and the specific foreign location.
      When the make-up is done wrong, it's a complete disaster. I'm thinking of the John Huston film "The List of Adrian Messenger" with big name stars with packed on make-up, that were more masks than faces.

    Kira was on the boat as staff day 1, Danny killed as he saw, his death kira “came aboard” as interpol. The next death was the governor. If Danny hadn’t died, would kira still be fake staff till gov. Death? Which happened on like day 5 or something. That’s one of a few issues I had, why would Kira NEED TO BE ON THE SHIP before she pretended to be interpol. Why not just arrive on the chopper like the rest of the fake cops, she didn’t NEED to be there day 1 and it just put the plan at risk. As Danny death was impromptu the real plan wouldn’t have kicked off till gov death day 5 or what ever so why be on the board day 1? I have a couple other gripes but I still really enjoyed it. KNIVES OUT vibes

    • @NerdsAtNite
      @NerdsAtNite  3 месяца назад +2

      Yea Kira being onboard early was def a head scratcher as the whole plan still would’ve worked without her being on board atleast until they needed fake interpol to come in. They couldve made up any reason for interpol to need to come on board so yea seems like she was just placed there to get the plot started

    Thank you for the shut out, but i think we are all MVP's on this one. We all got some things right and some things wrong. Now before i turn into mister Negative cause i do have a lot of questions and criticism about this ending, i just want to say thank you for all the videos. It's really been a lot of fun watching the show and then coming in here and discussing it. I hope there's another season just so we can do it again🙂
    Now for my criticism. My main one is the word detail. It's in the title and they tell us to watch for details. Turns out there were none except his drink going from green to blue. The most obvious turned out to be the truth. But why though. What was her plan on the ship? She already gave Lawrence dementia so who was she after. The family that raised her daughter like their own? The lawyer, the governor, and why were the Chun's there. What they do to her. And if Danny hadn't noticed she wasn't on the crew list, not that he recognised her cause no one did, what would have happened? Did she pretend to be Interpol on the fly or was that the plan all along. And why didn't the real authorities get involved cause they could see what was going on through Derek's videos.
    She build this giant shadow tech company to get revenge on a clothing company and waited 18 years to do so
    And then Imogene turns on her Mom with the help of her little gang. She also turned on her adopted family. Tripp went out of his way to save her, removing his fathers name before hers and she couldn't care less that Anna was missing 15 minutes before the bomb goes off. And she just leaves with her Mom. I'm sorry but she's a horrible protagonist and this whole love triangle. Does anyone care who she ends up with? Is the guy who plays Jules even an actor, cause my God is he stoic. Not even the slightest bit of chemistry between them.
    And then it ends with the Scooby doo gang looking at a new murder. I would really like them to move on. Rufus and Imogene takes on a case that has nothing to do with this at all.
    Oh and we said Anna killed her mom but watching it and it felt completely out of character. She didn't just hit her ones but twice. And then Kira shows up and acts like she knew it was gonna happen and Anna seemed to know who she was. DId she know? Was she in on it and if so why? So many questions!
    Ah i rambled i know but it felt good getting it off my chest🙂

      @@NerdsAtNite At this point, I just don't understand "what" it takes to be a Successful tv show. I know that "Death..." only received 60% positive ratings on Rotten Tomatoes; so, for some reason viewers and reviewers/critics weren't very supportive.
      Also, Hulu has a lot of mystery series on deck, so maybe their strategy is to just have one-season shows, introducing a new slate every year.
      Lastly, actors are very busy--and maybe the "key" performers (Mandy, Violett, Lauren) have other commitments. Given the final scene of the show, the second season could not go forward without at lest Violett and Lauren--and, remember, Lauren is a Broadway musical theater star, so that could be part of it.

      Plus, accomplished actors are always in demand.
