Episode #1.8

The killer was pretty predictable, just based on the circumstances. But a few of the details, wow, not expected. Great acting and storyline, glad to see all loose ends tied up.

I didn't like Cush Jumbo from the beginning, but dang, she did an excellent job all the way through.

Overall this kept me hanging in 'til the end and it was worth it. Well written Coben story. Very good camera work and editing. Mostly good performances and a LOT of surprises. 8 is good to get by me.

As always, this has a great cast and the acting is of a high standard, plus the writing isn't corny (although like all of his stories, they are far fetched!)

They've used some of the same actors we've seen in other Harlan Cobin mini series', but this time we have Cush Jumbo and Eddie Izzard who add real Hollywood class to it. They really should be in more of these kinds of shows.

There isn't as many twists in this one, compared to Missing You, but I quite like that. I had a headache by the end of Missing You 🤣

I recommend watching it for an introduction to Harlan Coban dramas, simply because of the lack of twists- it's quite easy to follow but there is enough going on to keep your invested.

This episode is a great example of why writing teachers caution their students against exposition dumps. I guess writers still do it because it salves their ego to bamboozle the audience with an incoherent mess of events and contradictory information.
