People Are Reacting To The First Episodes Of "The Afterparty" And It's Making Everyone Rethink Their High School Reunion Plans

    A modern spin on the classic whodunit genre.

    The Afterparty is an ensemble comedy from Apple TV+ that is wearing the cloak of a murder-mystery.

    Created by the Oscar-winning duo of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the show focuses on the investigation of a murder that takes place in the aftermath of a high school reunion party.

    Let's see how the viewers are reacting.

    1. First of all, the show is built around superb comedic core:

    #TheAfterparty is so much fun. Every episode rooted in a new genre with a great comedic actor at the center, Tiffany Haddish as the world’s worst or possibly best? Detective? Still too early to tell.

    2. "Guffaw" is the appropriate word to describe how one laughs when watching this show:

    I am only 10 mins into The Afterparty on Apple TV and I’ve already GUFFAWED multiple times! & I NEVER do that…say the word guffaw. #TheAfterparty #RIPXavier

    3. The show gives the tone of a different genre to different episodes. One week it's a rom-com, then noir, then psychological thriller, and so on.

    #theafterparty is delicious nonsense

    4. One thing fans are really appreciating so far is how the dialogue is so funny:

    why is this show so fucking funny bro lmfao #TheAfterparty

    5. Dave Franco is very convincing as an obnoxious, oversexed, and stinking rich celebrity.

    6. Many people noted that Franco's character gives off Bieber-y vibes:

    Just loving the #JustinBieber vibes of #DaveFranco in the #TheAfterparty

    7. But really, you can never go wrong with Dave Franco.

    Dave Franco as Xavier is hilarious....the mannerisms #TheAfterparty

    8. Sam Richardson is the MVP of the show for many:

    Watching #TheAfterparty, and I’m here for the Sam Richardsonlightenment

    9. And he carries the major weight of the show:

    How is @SamRichardson so stinking adorable?? serious question. #TheAfterparty

    10. Ben Schwartz is another gem of the show:

    can't stop thinking about Ben Schwartz's brilliant 50 Cent/The Game references in #TheAfterparty

    Apple TV+, Twitter: @KyloCool630

    11. I personally loved Ben Schwartz in Space Force as well.

    I *really* enjoyed Yasper's episode of #TheAfterparty It's exactly the kind of episode I wanted from the show. And Ben Schwartz clearly had a lot of fun with it.

    12. But Ilana Glazer took the show to a whole new level.

    13. This scene was crazy:

    Hell yeah it's Ilana Glazer's episode and her genre is psychological thriller #TheAfterparty

    14. And here's Channing Tatum.

    #TheAfterparty is entertaining (and truly a star-studded cast of comedians), but I keep on getting re-disappointed that Private Eyes is not an actual Hall & Oates biopic that I can watch... yet

    15. And of course, the memes have started tumbling out:

    16. Poor Aniq:

    THAAAAT 😂😂 #TheAfterparty @AppleTV

    Twitter: @kvndvce

    17. OMG, that correction of the typo:

    Episode 4 of #TheAfterparty was great but this made me laugh more than it probably should have.

    Apple TV+, Twitter: @ApplWatcher

    I was seriously guffawing.

    18. When you want too hard to relate with something:

    Watching #TheAfterparty and realizing they graduated in 2006 and I actually did in 2005...there were no murders at my ten year...maybe my 20 year...

    19. Do any of you feel such pressure while explaining what you do for a living?

    Feeling equal parts seen and put on blast by @SamRichardson's Aniq being an escape room designer/would-be murder mystery detective on #TheAfterparty

    20. Overall, there is high anticipation for next episode.

    Already psyched about next week's #TheAfterparty. This pic alone had us cracking up
