The Afterparty	comment	The Afterparty is a 2022 comedic murder mystery television series created by Christopher Millernote Miller created the series and directs the first season as a solo outing, in contrast to his collaborations with Phil Lord and executive produced by him and Phil Lord. The eight episode first season premiered on January 28, 2022 on Apple TV+.The first season follows the events of a high school reunion and its afterparty held by a famous alumnus, the pop sensation Xavier. However, when Xavier is killed during the party, the guests are interrogated by an eccentric detective — each oneâ€™s story taking on a different genre — to solve the case.The series stars Tiffany Haddish, Sam Richardson, Ilana Glazer, Ben Schwartz, Ike Barinholtz, ZoÃ« Chao, Jamie Demetriou, and Dave Franco.On March 2nd, one day ahead of the first season finale, the show was renewed for a second season. So far, Haddish, Richardson, and Chao are set to return along with a new cast comprised of Ken Jeong, Elizabeth Perkins, Zach Woods, Paul Walter Hauser, Poppy Liu, Anna Konkle, Jack Whitehall, and Vivian Wu. The story will follow Danner as she is called to a wedding to solve the murder of the groom. The second season premiered on July 12, 2023. Following the second season, Apple canceled the series, although the producers have stated their intentions to shop the series to other outlets.Not to be confused with the 2019 indie game of the same name.Tropers beware! Many of the trope names themselves may be spoilers, so if you want to avoid them it's highly recommended you watch the series first.

A major example with Yasper's account, as he previously presented Xavier as being accepting, but overall dismissive of his request to bless his track. This encounter, in fact, ended with Xavier sarcastically brushing him aside after proclaiming that he'd never help Yasper.

The Afterparty / int_29a39f6	type	Easter Egg
The Afterparty / int_29a39f6	comment	Easter Egg: Each episode contains a hidden code that gives a clue to who the killer isn't: Episode 1: During Aniq and Zoe's conversation on the bleachers, a light behind Zoe blinks in Morse code, spelling out "NOT FIREMAN".note The killer is not Brett, who is a volunteer fireman. Episode 2: Everyone in the photos of Brett and Zoe's relationship has their arms posed in semaphore code, spelling out "NOT PUDDLE".note The killer is not Jennifer 2, whose water broke and created the puddle Danner slips in during episode one. Episode 3: The cities, theater names, and dates on Xavier's tour jacket form a cipher that spells "NOT MAD DOG".note The killer is not Danner, whose nickname is revealed to be â€�Mad Dogâ€� in episode seven. Episode 4: Following the eyelines of the student photos on Chelsea's yearbook page creates a path. The middle initials of the students along this path spell out "NOT THE LEFTY".note The killer is not Indigo, who is left-handed as shown when Aniq has everyone write "diarrhea." Episode 5: The multicolored dots on the TV screens behind the bar spell out "NOT THE SKIER".note The killer is not Ned, who played a prank on the unconscious Aniq involving skis. Episode 6: As Zoe and Xavier are flying to the party, they pass over a building with a few lit-up windows next to a billboard reading "Another Of Those Cloaked Easter Eggs." Transposing the text onto the building creates the phrase "NOT THE CAKE EATER" in the windows with lights.note The killer is not Chelsea, who is seen eating cake at the St. Patrick's Day party. Episode 7: The empty spaces on the bulletin board behind Danner spell out "NOT THE BEAR".note The killer is not Zoe, who has a literal Mama Bear as one of her personas in her flashback. Episode 8: The numbers on the screen while Maggie is playing in the recording studio when decoded, read "NOT THE OBOE HOLDER".note The killer is not Aniq, who found Xavierâ€™s oboe when hiding in the recording studio. The name on the outside of the building where the reunion is held changes in each episode. The letters that change spell out "OPEN DOOR." The closet door in Xavier's room is closed in everyone else's account but open in Aniq's, proving that the killer must have hidden in the closet. Some of the costumes change slightly between recollections: Yasper's story has him wearing different, fancier sneakers and a jacket with a more colorful lining than what he's wearing in reality, reflecting the fact that Yasper sees himself as the star of a flashy musical. He also remembers Aniq wearing a different blue floral shirt than the one he actually has on. In Brett's story, he's wearing a leather jacket with shoulder pads, making him look more like the broad, muscular action hero he pictures himself as. Zoe is also wearing fishnets in his story, befitting her role as the (in his mind) love interest for the action hero. Chelsea's story has Yasper wearing a duller and more lightweight jacket than the green wool one he actually wears. Season 2 continues the hidden message tradition - though notably, unlike season 1 where these directly exonerated a suspect, these instead remove other possible avenues (people outside the suspect circle, methods of murder and poisoning, etc.) as to how the crime took place. Episode 1: The letters on the tables during the wedding reception spell out "NOT THE SNORER".note The killer is not Aunt Ruth, one of Grace and Zoe's Chinese aunties who's seen snoring in Kyler's videos. Episode 2: Edgar's itinerary has various locations with airport codes that spell out "NOT THE SKATER".note The killer is not Kyler, the skateboarding influencer Feng hired as a videographer. Episode 3: Edgar's office has a list of potential names next to a ten-star rating for each, with the names all having 10-letter last names. Taking the letter corresponding to each star placement gets you "NOT BY*The code in the episode misspells to "EY"; Chris Miller confirms it's a mistake. SUICIDE"note Edgar didn't commit suicide, and was definitely murdered. Episode 4: Hannah's calendar has a 5x5 highlighted area underneath and the word "Wanderlust" is shown prominently. Creating a Playfair cipher with that as the key, and using the symbols drawn on the highlighted calendar as the marks for the rectangle decoding sequences gets you "NOT COLONEL".note The killer isn't Colonel, the Minnows family dog. Episode 5: Solving the crossword on Travis' newspaper at the start of the episode, and then reading the letters along the diagonal from the bottom left corner to the upper right gets you "NOT BY CAMELS MILK".note Ulysses' koumiss is not directly involved in the crime. Episode 6: The food piled on top of Dr. Devereaux is arranged in Braille - when translated, it spells out "NOT BY A TEAM".note The killer acted alone. Episode 7: Throughout the episode, words in the NATO phonetic alphabet are placed in the dialogue between characters. Arranging them in order gets you "NOT THE DJ".note The killer is not Judson, Sebastian's cousin who infiltrated the reception as the DJ. Episode 8: The timestamps on Kyler's video footage, when ordered by minute from shortest to longest, and then having the seconds be converted to the corresponding letter, get you "NOT THE SPITTER".note The killer is not Aniq, who spat out the koumiss at the rehearsal dinner. Episode 9: The letters in the intersections of Edgar and Isabel's Scrabble game spell out "NOT WITHOUT PLANNING".note The crime is to some degree premeditated, and not impulsive nor accidental (in the sense that the use of poison in itself was an accident). Episode 10: The barcode on the package in Edgar's closet is actually a vertically stretched message that spells out "NOT THE WAITER".note The killer is not Jaxson, the other cousin of Sebastian's who infiltrated the reception as a waiter. In addition to the "not" clues, Season 2 has a second series of hidden ciphers pertaining to flowers. Typing each episode's flower into the season's website then unlocks a puzzle, each with a hidden keyword. Episode 1: The vases in Aniq and Zoe's cottage correspond to base 3 numerals, which when converted to base 10 and then substituted for a corresponding letter spells out "TULIP". Episode 2: Grace's typewriter has a keyboard with a different layout to QWERTY, which if you type in the alphabetical order of the QWERTY format results in the message "NICE YOU HAVE FOUND A SUNFLOWER". Episode 3: One of the books Travis examines in Edgar's bookshelf conspicuously has all of its first letters capitalized: "Doves And Handkerchief Lessons: Ira Anderson". Episode 4: A couple of Hannah's hobbies have a shelf in the frame with a number of items on it (such as a shelf with two armadillos). Taking the letter of the name of each item that corresponds to the number of items on each shelf gets you "ROSE". Episode 5: The tools laid out on Sebastian's table when planning out the heist spell out "DAISY". Episode 6: The flags in "The Sing Sing Room" are international code flags. Translating them gets you "MARIGOLD". Episode 7: Ulysses' room in San Francisco has a seemingly broken digital clock; filling out the dead space spells out "POSY". Episode 8: Converting the points of each dart on the dartboard in the room into a corresponding letter and then arranging them by tail color in the order of the rainbow gets you "ORCHID". Episode 9: Isabel's spice table has a set of 10 spices neatly arranged in a 5x2 formation. Taking the common letter between each pair and arranging them from top to bottom spells out "LILAC".

Season 2 takes place over the course of a weekend, and without a unifying incident that links all the suspects together, each suspect account also goes into how they ended up at the wedding in the first place, with testimonies that span from weeks to decades. The genres are also a lot more greatly stylized, with nearly everyone featuring more lavish production values ranging from crowd costume changes to entire sets being replaced.

The Afterparty / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Aniq tries putting his Amateur Sleuth skills to use by performing an investigation of his own independent of the police, and finds a pattern in two seemingly unrelated pieces of writing that he believes to be a lead to who the true culprit is. As it turns out, the two pieces of writing were created by Xavier, the victim, and provide no relevant information about the killer's identity; something that Danner, an actual professional crime solver, puts together in seconds once they're presented to her. Danner got into police work for the sake of justice and keeping the peace. As she and other academy hopefuls discover during her career, the majority of police work is still work rather than exciting car chases and investigations. Many of her colleagues are shown to become lazy or unnecessarily brutal out of sheer apathy towards the routine domestic disputes and complaints. Others take the shortest route possible towards solving a case in the interest of climbing the ranks as fast as possible, such as Germain.

In season 2, it takes up until the second act of the case before everything that is needed to solve the case is given to the viewer - in particular, the point at which the viewer may be able to solve the case is during the two accounts of the Zhu brothers.

The Afterparty / int_5ce7dbb9	type	Central Theme
The Afterparty / int_5ce7dbb9	comment	Central Theme: Several. Danner lays it out at the beginning that â€œweâ€™re all stars of our own moviesâ€�. This sets up not only the genre shifting but also how each character focuses on their own issues during their statements. Second chances are a major theme. Aniq and Brett both seek a second chance with Zoe. Yasper is looking for a second chance at fame, espousing that you â€œonly get one shot, twiceâ€�. Even Walt is using the reunion as an opportunity to be remembered by performing the streak that he never could at the St. Patrickâ€™s Day party. Revenge. In Brettâ€™s flashback, Xavier claims that he will have sex with his ex wife, Zoe, as revenge for his bullying. Chelsea wants revenge on Xavier after he claimed to sleep with her at the St. Patrickâ€™s Day party, ruining her reputation. Aniq and Xavier engage in a smaller cycle of revenge at said party. And then there is Yasper, who kills Xavier in retribution for refusing to bless his track. Love is a pretty big focus so far in Season 2. The setting is a wedding this time around, Aniq and Grace both have romantic genres (though differing between period drama and comedy) as the focus during their recollections, and the question of love is frequently raised by Zoe as she fears Grace is falling into an unhappy marriage and Vivian, who makes it clear to Aniq she only wants to know if he truly loves and cares for Zoe. Some of the characters are also motivated by their unrequited love, such as Grace having an affair with Hannah because of Edgar's constant business trips, Hannah deciding to leave when Grace ultimately chooses to end the affair and Edgar is shown to love Grace, or Ulysses being exiled into being a global wanderer because of his love for Vivian. Money is another major theme of the second season with many of the characters suspecting that Edgar was murdered for his money and the different socioeconomic levels of the Zhu and Minnows family being a through line. Throughout their testimonies many characters express a disdain for money and the circumstances it brings, such as Grace not signing the prenup because she doesn't want to be thinking about finances before her wedding, Travis going after Edgar's cryptocurrency Bucephalus because he was tricked by a similar scam in the past, Sebastian wanting a sentimental item more than millions of dollars, Feng trying to impress Edgar to solve all his money problems, or Isabel being convinced Edgar is putting her into a conservatorship to attain her money. Family is the final major theme for the second season. Most of the characters are part of one of the two families getting married, the Zhuâ€™s and Minnows and both sides try their best to prove that a member of the other family killed Edgar. Even as they try to defend their families many of the characters show they failed or betrayed their family either in the past or at the wedding, such as Vivian and Ulyessesâ€™s past affair, Grace and Hannahâ€™s recent affair, Edgarâ€™s abuse of Isabel, or Feng lying to his family about his money troubles to impress them. A quote from Edgar gives a good summary of all three major themes.

It's only when Isabel recalls the event from her perspective that he (and some other people in the room) realize it's just the lyrics to MMMBop.

Quite the opposite. Xavier catapulted to success while Yasper went nowhere and pathetically tried to glom on to Xavierâ€™s success. When Xavier justifiably turned him down, Yasper murdered Xavier for supposedly taking the game that he decided was so rightfully his.

Its an early indication that Chelsea was the one Brett had an affair with; a fact he left out of his testimony. Ned's first encounter with Chelsea has him nervously insist that he's happily married, seemingly proving Chelsea's point that everyone thinks of her as a homewrecker. Given the reveal that he and Chelsea dated in high school before the Saint Patrick's Day party, its more obviously a sign of his painful history with her. In many episodes, Yasper is clearly seen holding a phone that doesn't feature his signature green case. Finally brought to light in the final episode, where Aniq correctly deduces that it belongs to Xavier and Yasper stole it to record all of the song recordings. Zoeâ€™s animated episode was foreshadowed by her drawing of Aniq durring his flashback, where he receives a drawing himself in the art style used durring Zoeâ€™s episode.

The Afterparty / int_b53077b3	type	Take That!
The Afterparty / int_b53077b3	comment	Take That!: Xavier is more or less a parody of hyper-sexualized pretty boy pop stars from the prior ten years, such as Justin Bieber or Justin Timberlake. The aforementioned Hall & Oates biopic is one towards similar biopics of musicians such as Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman (2019), with their similar story beats. There is a jab towards Hall & Oates themselves with Xavier as Hall telling Channing Tatum as Oates to â€œgo highâ€� and that heâ€™ll â€œgo the exact same highâ€� in the film. Indigo is one for New-Age Retro Hippie and Beatnik characters. Her flashback is dripping with pretension, she interprets a prank as an art piece, and she refuses to look at any television screens. Not to mention her promotion of cheese made from human breast milk because of how â€œbarbaricâ€� it is that humans drink milk from other animals. Chelsea's testimony goes on to reveal that she is also part of an incredibly shady pyramid scheme involving a nutrition supplement and is also an anti-vaxxer. While hiding out in Xavier's music equipment room, Aniq finds an oboe and drops this gem about pop artists trying to improve their credibility by making a New Sound Album. Danner describes Marshall Law, an in-universe cop show akin to Walker, Texas Ranger as being "everything wrong with how TV portrays police work in a corny 44-minute package". For bonus points, the episode she says this in is a pastiche of cop shows.

Flashforward to the present where Xavier is a record-breaking pop star and Yasper is a desperate loser trying to get his old bandmate to bless his track so he can get famous. The heavy emphasis on colors and their meaning in Season 1 isn't given much emphasis in Season 2. However, it becomes quite funny to see Isabel, one of the meanest and domineering characters in the show overall so far, wearing blue, which represents sensitivity and freedom.

Two ends as Travis drops his folder, which spills open and reveals he was stalking and looking into Edgar. Three ends as the main trio realise that various plants that Hannah grows are in fact poisonous, and were even used in the wedding, making them a serious suspect.

The Afterparty / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
The Afterparty / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: The in-universe Hungry Hungry Hippos movie night put one in mind of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle from its visual alone. The Hall and Oates biopic is a clear parody of similar films like Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman (2019). Indigo's Le Film Artistique flashback, complete with 1.19:1 aspect ratio and monochrome presentation, is clearly inspired by The Lighthouse. Brett presents himself in his flashback as a gruff badass with a dedication to family, not unlike Vin Diesel in the The Fast and the Furious movies. Capping off this comparison is a high-speed car chase. Brett compares Aniq to Steve Urkel. While introducing herself, Danner compares the state of the house to Barnum and Bailey's Circus. Xavier references the plot of Parasite (2019) to excuse himself from a conversation with Chelsea. Aniq is drugged, passes out, and wakes up with drawings and crude phrases doodled all over his face. This is similar to what happens to Ed Helms' character in The Hangover, albeit Helms was tattooed, not sharpied. Xavierâ€™s first hit single is titled "X Marks the G-Spot". This may remind long-time Lord Miller fans of the song â€œG-Spot Rocks the G-Spotâ€� from the duoâ€™s first series, Clone High. Xavier's toast speech at the afterparty has him declare to his classmates that "We started at the upper-middle, and now we here." Episode 5 is set at a Wild Teen Party that might bring to mind Superbad or Project X (2012). Aniq going off on Xavier's car might echo John Goodman's Walter Sobchak's actions during the famous "Find a Stranger in the Alps" scene in The Big Lebowski. At one point during Xavier and Aniq's Wimp Fight at the St. Patrick's Day party, they start spinning around with their arms outstretched. Yasper yells from the sidelines to "stop Sound of Music-ing", a reference to the iconic opening shot of the movie. Grace's retelling of the wedding weekend is an homage to regency-era romances, most notably the 2005 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, from empire-waist dresses to Edgar's Darcy-esque sideburns. It even includes the iconic shot of his hand flexing after touching hers.

The Afterparty / int_d129e13e	comment	"Eureka!" Moment: In season 1, Danner has an epiphany about the murder in episode 7 that she explains in episode 8. After Culp brings up an old case of hers involving a woman who was murdered when she opened the door, Danner realizes that the closet door in Xavier's bedroom was closed in every story except Aniq's, meaning the killer could have hidden there and killed him before Aniq went upstairs. She quickly pieces who it could have been and guides Aniq to the same conclusion in the finale. In season 2, Danner and Aniq have epiphanies one after the other - after Isabel repeats her story about thinking Edgar had intended to poison her but the poison reached the wrong target when she swapped the cakes, and Aniq later realizing that there's a possibility that that the killer didn't have a motive to kill Edgar, the two come to the conclusion that Edgar was nothing more than an unintended casualty, and the killer was targeting someone else, who then inadvertently switched glasses with the actual victim. Shortly after coming to these realizations, they name the culprit in 5 minutes.

It then turns out in episode five to have actually been written by Xavier, and it's just rejected song lyrics. Intentionally with Brett. Connecting the dots, Danner accuses him of the murder as no one saw him in the room when Aniq was passed out, which he cannot defend and accidentally blurts out an "I'll kill you." She spins this theory to evoke a response from Aniq, who saw Brett leaving the house during the timeframe when the murder was committed.

The Afterparty / int_f9f2c33	type	Running Gag
The Afterparty / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: Aniq repeatedly gets various liquids splashed on him. Every testimony features Walt attempting to ask the focus character if they know who he is only to get blown off without getting an answer. Characters repeatedly stumble upon their old chemistry teacher Mr. Shapiro and his former student Heather having sex. Xavier's poor grasp of the Spanish language comes up a few times.

The Afterparty / int_fe0330fb	type	Brick Joke
The Afterparty / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: Aniq describes Brett as the answer to the question "What if a human butt could wear a jacket?" in episode 1. During Zoe's animated testimony in episode 5, Brett's face at one point literally morphs into a butt. As Danner enters the mansion, she slips in a puddle of what turns out to be Jenn 2's amniotic fluid. As the final episode nears its end, she slips in the same puddle after Yasper is arrested. Throughout the first two seasons, people will constantly compare/mix up Aniq with Steve Urkel. In the final scene of Season 2, Aniq learns that Jaleel White is playing him in the movie based on Season 1.
