The new whodunit series, Death and Other Details, just aired on Hulu and we're breaking down the characters on the show. This is our attempt to scrutinize who the likely suspect is in Keith's murder. In this explainer, let's take a look at That Derek in Death and Other Details.
We'll try our best not to include spoilers in this explainer guide. But we cannot promise anything since we're trying to analyze the character. If you haven't watched Death and Other Details, feel free to skip this explainer guide for now.
Who is That Derek in Death and Other Details?
Derek Briggs may just be the youngest passenger on board the Varuna. The 14-year-old TikTok-obsessed teenager is the son of Father Toby Briggs (played by Danny Johnson), the spiritual adviser of the Collier family.
That Derek is his account name on TikTok. He is also referred to as a "rising TikTok star." Some critics share that his character is the "only likable character" in the series (via Variety).
This could be because of all the secrets everyone seems to be trying their best to keep hidden. Out of everyone on board the ship, That Derek seems to be the only one who doesn't have a secret, unless none that we know of right now.
We don't know much about That Derek but according to this character profile from Death and Other Details' Instagram account, this is what we gather at this point.
- That Derek has requested a map of the Varuna with labeled strong Wi-Fi zones.
- Will probably be going "live" throughout the entire ship.
- Have a portable charger on hand at all times for Mr. Derek.
- Please make sure any technological requests are completed in a timely manner.
- He will most likely be asking for unlimited orders of shrimp.
- Does not really enjoy interacting with anyone besides his social following.
Yep, that's your typical teenager right there.
