Hulu's Murder at the End of the World is making a splash, and the series is already a big win for the streaming service. Critics and fans alike are giving it high marks on Rotten Tomatoes, but viewers are especially loving it. Four episodes are currently airing, and viewer ratings are an impressive 96%. I also watched the first episode and wholeheartedly agree with the accolades this Hulu miniseries has earned.

The FX of this Hulu original show stars Emma Colin as Darby Hart, an intelligent crime solver who investigates cold cases and missing persons and brings justice to the victims. She is invited to a retreat by tech mogul Andy Ronson (Clive Owen), but the other invited guests are surprised. Most seem to think she has been invited by Andy's wife, Lee Andersen (Brit Marling).

But we know that is not the case. We also know that something sinister is about to happen, even if things don't seem unpleasant. After all, the title of this show is "Murder at the End of the World," not "The Interesting Tech Summit at the End of the World." I'm going to go into spoilers for the first episode here, so if you want to go into the show blind, turn around now.

So, here's why "Murder at the End of the World" is a streaming TV show you should watch right now. Editor's Note: There are mild spoilers.

The tone of the majority of the first episode is quite dark. Murder at the End of the World seems to revolve around two separate storylines: the present, where the murder is expected to occur, and the past, where Darby solves her first unsolved case.

Both stories have plenty of thriller and horror elements, but the past story, in which Darby solves his first case, is more horror-oriented. That scene would not be out of place in a conventional horror film.

Still, the show can be lighthearted at times. While it does not have the laugh-out-loud moments of the comedy-leaning "Knives Out" horror film series, viewers will find themselves chuckling and giggling from time to time. It's not all gloom and doom at the end of the earth.

Having just said that not all the ends of the earth are dark, "Murder at the End of the World" certainly feels like a partial commentary on the impending technological dystopia. Owen's portrayal of high-tech billionaire Ronson as one of the most powerful people in the world is dystopian in itself. However, given the world we currently live in, it is quite relatable.

The commentary doesn't stop there. An AI assistant being tested at a retreat, smart glasses in a hotel room, and even a child named Zoomer make an appearance. There is even a deep faux pas from one of the guests shared at the dinner table. [If you're a fan of whodunnits like "Knives Out" and "Murder on the Orient Express," "Murder at the End of the World" is one you should start streaming now. Darby and Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc in Knives Out have a lot in common, especially compared to Blanc's role in The Glass Onion: especially compared to Blanc's role in The Glass Onion. I would be shocked if Ronson had not invited her, anticipating the doom that would come with her retreat in a secluded Icelandic hotel.

But the show also does a great job of keeping you entertained and engaged. It has elements of horror and thriller, but it's nowhere near the horror of The Fall of the House of Usher. So I would recommend it to anyone; I watched one episode and had to immediately stop watching the second. That's right. You can now stream the first four episodes of "Murder at the End of the World" on Hulu. Viewers have called it "perfect," "a great show," and "amazingly phenomenal."
