The Afterparty is a witty satirical experiment so entertaining I'd be in favor a second season with a whole new reunion-murder. Go to Full Review Samantha Schuster Cinéfilo Serial Sep 29
4/5
The Afterparty stands out as one of the best series of last year. Not only because it offers a captivating mystery, but also because its humor is effective and manages to amalgamate a wide range of film genres.
