The new year calls for a new murder mystery to binge, and Hulu’s miniseries Death and Other Details looks like it could be a mighty contender. I mean, it stars Mandy Patinkin as “the world’s greatest detective,” so you know things are about to get down. 

It’s also set in a lavishly refurbished Mediterranean ocean liner, and pits weary workers against the ignorant elite, but everyone becomes a suspect when a passenger is mysteriously murdered. The plot reads like a juicy mix of Murder at the Oriental Express, The White Lotus, Triangle of Sadness, and Knives Out—all great and all about skewering the wealthy. Since “eat the rich” is a pretty common theme in recent years, it’ll be interesting to see how Death and Other Details puts a fresh spin on the premise. So without further ado, here’s how to watch the series.

Where to watch Death and Other Details

Death and Other Details will make a two-episode premiere on Hulu on January 16th, Tuesday. New episodes will subsequently be released each week until March 15th when it releases the season finale.  

There are two ways to watch Death and Other Details: on Hulu or Hulu with Live TV.
