Someone else wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: ‘If there is one thing Brit Marling is going to do is make some of the best intelligent & creative tv ever & it will be severely underrated but have a cult fan base she did it with the OA & is doing it again with A Murder at the End of the World.’
‘I’m completely enthralled and obsessed with @britmarling’s A Murder At The End of the World on Hulu.

It is all the things. I need more people to discuss!’ someone else said.

Baby’s got style.’
