It’s impossible to not see the similarities between Prime Video’s Totally Killer and Netflix’s Time Cut.
Its understandable how the setups and mystery of who is the killer?
venture into the formulaic territory; however, there is a need to diverge at some point.
Totally Killer / Time Cut
Some minor details aside, theyre literally the same premise.
The question is: How did no one notice this beforehand?

These stories sound way too similar, but…
Totally Killerreleased in October 2023, whileTime Cuthit Netflix in October 2024.
Even though that impliesTotally Killercame first, that isnt the case in terms of which went into production initially.
The shooting forTotally Killertook place between May and June 2022, and it was released a year later.
Conversely,Time Cutwas filmed between June and July 2021.
Despite the principal photography for the film ending in 2021, it was only released three years later.
Not a new phenomenon in Hollywood either.
Regardless, that doesnt take away anything from how good and original it is.
