With only four episodes currently available, The Afterparty is garnering rave reviews, many of which highlight Sam Richardson's performance as a resident nice guy and escape room designer Aniq.

The first episode opens with Aniq pulling up to his high school for the 15th reunion — he plans on attending in hopes of reconnecting with his newly single school crush, Zoë (Zoë Chao).

For a while, it seems it's going great between them; they're chatting away and plan to meet up at Xavier's (Dave Franco) afterparty. However, when you mix in cat tranquilizers and an aggressive ex-husband, things can only take a turn for the worse. And eventually, matters do get grimmer once Xavier falls to his death at his fancy beach-front mansion.

From then on, Aniq does all he can to solve the whodunnit case before Detective Danner (Tiffany Haddish) and her partner Detective Culp (John Early) can.

Nonetheless, he makes himself look more and more guilty as time progresses due to his suspicious actions of hiding out in the bathroom and listening in on interrogations. For now, Aniq remains on Detective Danner's radar as the top suspect, but did he really kill Xavier? If he did, what would his motive even be?
