'The Afterparty' launches on Apple TV+ next week - here's our spoiler-free review

The most unique part about 'The Afterparty' is how each episode takes on a different theme. While still remaining a comedy/mystery series at its core, all eight episodes explore each character's individual and unique way of telling their side to the story.

While taking the viewer on an eight-episode wild goose chase, this is a very clever way of keeping our attention in check. With each episode becoming more elaborate and"out there" as Danner interviews each of the characters, the regurgitation of the same story over and over again becomes less of a slog.

With such a unique hook in hand, we would expect nothing less from the overall series creator and writer Chris Miller. The visionary director has delivered memorable cinematic experiences to audiences in the past, including, ’21 Jump Street’ and 'The LEGO Movie', and his tongue-in-cheek stamp remains present here too.

Having said that, it's difficult for the viewer to truly believe that Haddish is a Police Detective. Her nonchalant way of approaching the character, while likeable, doesn't come across as very believable . Similarly, the fact that only some of the suspects are deserving of getting one-on-one interview time with the Detective doesn't really make sense - shouldn't everyone be interviewed? Even a quick montage would have been enough.

Thanks to this unique way of replaying the story, as well as the addition of Dave Franco, Sam Richardson, Zoë Chao and many more familiar faces, it all results in an easy to watch addition into the whodunnit genre that will keep you guessing until the very end.
