Death and Other Details - Sordid

In the second episode of the series, Imogene Scott (Violett Beane) decides to help Rufus Cotesworth (Mandy Patinkin), working behind-the-scenes, while he begins to interview various guests aboard the cruise ship. The arrival of Interpol at the end of the episode will no doubt lead to a shake-up in the status quo, but the time our detective had with those aboard the cruise ship prior to their involvement leads to the discovery of a few secrets and motives. “Sordid” is also notable for confirming the true identity of the murder victim as Cotesworth’s partner and the reason for him being on the ship and taking such interest in guests such as Lawrence Collier (David Marshall Grant) and Leila (Pardis Saremi).

There are quite a few moving pieces in the opening episode of Hulu’s Death and Other Details, one could argue too many (but that doesn’t stop it from being a darn good time). As our narrator, detective Rufus Cotesworth (Mandy Patinkin), points out, we need to keep our eyes on the details. Our story opens aboard a luxury cruise ship owned by a banker turned entrepreneur (Rahul Kohli) whose maiden voyage is hired for the retirement celebration of CEO Lawrence Collier (David Marshall Grant). Among the guests is Imogene Scott (Violett Beane) who grew up in the Collier household following the death of her mother in the one case Rufus was never able to solve (for which the young Imogene, played flashbacks by Sophia Reid-Gantzert, never forgave him).
