The first half of the final episode of THE AFTERPARTY was LEGO MOVIE inspiring. It was told from the viewpoint of Maggie, a little kid. So you can expect to see random puppets, cartoon sound effects, and more.
Yet once we get to the Agatha Christie murder mystery explanation mode, the pieces fall off that balcony in an all too predictable way. Since the start of THE AFTERPARTY, the show has been more about comedy than solving the crime. Week after week, various faulty narrators have given Christopher Miller a playground to have fun in.
However, the journey of this series isn’t entirely worth the destination. It’s more in the good, not great category. The show has a slew of likable characters, one amazingly catchy song, and sadly, not much else going for it. With that said, season two will be an AFTERPARTY I won’t join… twice.
The entire series is available on Apple TV+.
