Deadly Manners: Daily Summaries Delivered
by The Paragon Collective
Deadly Manners is a 10 episode, dark comedy murder-mystery series set in the winter of 1954.

However, all is not fun and games as shortly after the party starts, a snowstorm begins to rage outside, trapping all the partygoers inside their host's mansion. When a murderer starts killing off those in attendance, the guests must figure out who is responsible, or at least how to stay alive -- lest they be next. Deadly Manners was created by Ali Garfinkel and Alex Aldea.
