Killer Location

Look, I don’t know if anything gay happens in “A Murder at the End of the World.” But I do know it stars non-binary star Emma Corrin as some sort of pink-haired punk sleuth who gets invited to a billionaire’s compound at the aforementioned end of the world where, wouldn’t you know it, a murder happens. It’s helpful when they put the whole plot in the title like that. I don’t know much more about this limited series other than that Brit Marling (of the “OA”) and Joan Chen (of “Twin Peaks” and “Saving Face”) are also in it and Clive Owen (of lots of stuff, though if we’re looking for gay stuff there’s 1997’s “Bent”) plays the billionaire. Emma’s character also appears to bring their boyfriend, whose haircut I’ve seen on no fewer than half a dozen lesbians in the past year. So, you know, that’s kinda gay. Any thoughts? Feels a little “Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” crossed with “The Menu” and a little “Call of the Wild.” But as long as the billionaire is the bad guy and Emma and their pink hair survive, I’m on board.

Oh wow I completely forgot Clive Owen exists. At one point he was my pick to be the new James Bond.
