Our Review
Death and Other Details (2024) is a drama and crime series from Hulu. It has built a run of 10 episodes. It premiered on January 16, 2024. Viewers rate it 5.6 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 1 season.
What Death and Other Details Is About
Set amidst the glamor of the global elite, Death and Other Details centers on the brilliant and restless Imogene Scott, who finds herself in the wrong place/wrong time (okay, it was kinda her fault) and becomes the prime suspect in a locked room murder mystery. The setting? A lavishly restored Mediterranean ocean liner. Suspects? Every pampered guest and every exhausted crew member. The problem? To prove her innocence, she must partner with a man she despises – Rufus Cotesworth, the world’s greatest detective.
What to Expect When You Watch
The format keeps each instalment self-contained enough to drop into, the full run covers 10 episodes, spread across 1 season and it leans into its drama/crime roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Mandy Patinkin, Violett Beane and Lauren Patten to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Mandy Patinkin, Violett Beane, Lauren Patten, Rahul Kohli, Angela Zhou and Hugo Diego Garcia lead the cast.
Key roles include Mandy Patinkin as Rufus Cotesworth; Violett Beane as Imogene Scott; Lauren Patten as Anna Collier; Rahul Kohli as Sunil Bhandari; Angela Zhou as Teddy Goh.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of drama, crime and mystery have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Hulu’s other originals, a 5.6/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2024 and carried by Hulu with the series still ended, it lands hardest with drama and crime viewers.
How Death and Other Details Compares
If Death and Other Details lands for you, the next stops are Breaking Bad, Firefly and The Wire, which share its drama/crime lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

On the whole Death and Other Details is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Mandy Patinkin and Violett Beane doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its drama/crime roots, It has held up since 2024 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Death and Other Details is a safe bet for anyone already inside the drama and crime lane, at 10 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 5.6/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 5.6/10. Watch it if you want drama/crime you can settle into.
