Episode 4 of 'Whodunnit' is intriguing, serving as a perfect example of dramatic irony done right. The audience is aware of the killer's identity, yet the characters remain blissfully ignorant, creating a tension that's palpable through the screen. Let's unpack the scene at the 22:14 mark, where subtle cinematography choices underscore the killer's presence without overtly revealing them... the lighting, the lingering shots, and the mise-en-scène all come together to craft a masterclass in suspense...
Further, the dialogue's double entendre at 15:37, where the murderer mentions 'cutting away dead weight' during dinner, was not just brilliantly scripted but also foreshadowed the chilling events to come. I'd love to delve further into the choice of the murder weapon in the subsequent scene—a clear nod to Agatha Christie's 'And Then There Were None'...

Diving into the 22:14 mark, let's talk about the use of color temperature—did anyone notice the killer's scenes are always slightly cooler? A nice, psychological touch. Also, the use of diegetic sound subtly changes, a low hum when the killer's in the frame. Genius level sound design. We're watching a show that's breaking ground in visual storytelling for television suspense. Hats off to the director of photography here.

Absolutely agree on the Christie nod with the murder weapon choice. The series has been paying homage to classic mystery tropes but with a modern twist that keeps even seasoned mystery fans like me guessing. Very astute observation on the mise-en-scène—few get how crucial this is for setting the right tone.
