It remains imaginative and ingenious in how it plays with what we expect from comedies and mysteries. Even if some of the ideas don’t entirely work as well as they did in the first season, The Afterparty takes interesting swings that continue to make this one of the most innovative and creative shows on today.
Once again, The Afterparty has a funny ensemble that plays to their strengths in a solid format.
More of a slow-burner than the first season, this is nonetheless an engaging, often charming and disarmingly funny mystery series that still holds its own space in the saturated world of whodunnits.
The missteps this year are more than balanced out by the episodes that connect fully with this show’s odd funny bone.
The show’s collective charisma and self-amusement can only create so much intrigue in place of a delayed big reveal. But taken in total, as a binge for after a party, it’s still plenty of fun.
Season 2 devotes most of each character study to backstory, relationships, and emotional baggage (aka possible motives) that predate the actual wedding, scattering focus and isolating players from the bigger picture. It’s an experiment; a chance for “The Afterparty” to widen its scope — but maybe a lesson that future seasons shouldn’t.
The show takes an incredibly funny cast and squanders them by barely fleshing out its comedy.
