In January, the highly anticipated drama series, previously known as "Career Opportunities in Murder and Mayhem," premiered its 10-episode season to underwhelming reviews. The show, set on an ocean liner and featuring Violett Beane, has received a 55 percent score among critics and a 66 percent rating from viewers on Rotten Tomatoes.

Hulu, the streaming platform responsible for the series, initially ordered a pilot in September 2021. After careful consideration, they decided to pick up the show for a full series in March of the following year.

Despite some periodic moments of entertainment, critics have labeled the show as "wildly derivative" according to Daniel Fienberg, the chief TV critic for The Hollywood Reporter. Mixed opinions have emerged from viewers, with a slightly higher audience rating compared to the critical score on Rotten Tomatoes.

"Career Opportunities in Murder and Mayhem" has captivated viewers with its murder mystery premise set against the backdrop of an ocean voyage. The series boasts an ensemble cast led by Violett Beane, known for her previous roles in acclaimed projects.

The future of the show remains uncertain. It remains to be seen if the drama can gain momentum and improve upon its initial critical reception. With 10 episodes in its first season, "Career Opportunities in Murder and Mayhem" has the opportunity to evolve and potentially capture a wider audience.

Fans of suspenseful and thrilling dramas eagerly await further developments in the series, hopeful for a more engrossing and innovative storytelling approach moving forward. Only time will tell if the show can rise above its criticisms and achieve the acclaim it aims for.
