Aniq tries to win back his high school love at the reunion. Yasper hopes to persuade a classmate to make a business deal. Xavier, who has since made a career as a pop star, takes the opportunity to flaunt his fame and fortune and flies in by helicopter. And what Indigo wants, probably not even Indigo himself knows.
In any case, the after party in Xavier’s luxury villa ends abruptly with the death of the host. The police suspect murder, and the question is who of the guests killed him? The Afterparty is a murder mystery comedy series in the tradition of Agatha Christie. In the eight-part series, Chris Miller (“The Lego Movie”, “The Last Man On Earth”) also mixes in a bit of Kurosawa’s “Rashomon”: He leaves a different suspect in each episode, a different suspect during the interrogation, his own version of the events of the evening – and depending on the respective protagonist, transforms the series into a thriller, sometimes into a musical, making it an entertaining whodunnit prone to all sorts of silliness.

Series of the week: “The Funeral”
The ARD six-parter with improvised dialogues and a great cast is terribly realistic, sometimes it veers into the slightly grotesque.
Series of the week: “The discounters”
A lot was improvised in only 23 days of shooting, most of it is actually very funny. There’s a bit too much fecal humor and cheap punchlines, but what’s really a shame is that the season ends with a gag reflex – in episode nine, while the tenth only shows a making-of.
Show of the week: “American Rust”
Sober, intense narrative of bleak life plans, wrong decisions, guilt and atonement – ultimately a drama about the decline of the American middle class.
