I am getting a bit tired of reviews which begin with, "too complicated" or "lost me." Are we really becoming so lazy & impatient that we can't handle the occasional narrative challenge? "Not realistic" or "believable" is another common critique. Really? Because (news flash) no movie or series is "real." Isn't that the point? That we watch these things to escape reality & to be entertained.

I will admit that I was a bit disoriented at the conclusion of the 1st episode but unless the viewer is especially dense, it is not difficult to reorient & follow the narrative twisted by a set of twins who once vowed to share everything. I am not a fan of spoilers so I will just say that I enjoyed this so much that I binge watched the entire series because it was just like reading a really good book- I could not put this one down until it was over.

I read that there is no season 2 but that is ok by me. The ending did not disappoint.

Not as bad as the other reviews say. Is it perfect? No absolutely not, but it's worth a watch. Few nice twistes in it. It's not impossible to follow as some say - maybe don't sit on your phone doing other stuff while watching a show and then complaining it's difficult to follow.

I'm kinda surprised by all of the negative reviews after finishing this show! I really enjoyed it and was quickly sucked into the story. The summary and trailer intrigued me so I'm glad I decided to watch despite the low rating. Perfect? No. Confusing? Yes, but also engaging and with enough twists to keep me watching.

I didn't find the pace slow, though I see the valid criticism of plot holes...and the many times I felt frustrated by the fact that all of this could be solved by the truth and how overall the idea of the premise was a stupid decision on the part of two women with major trauma. But I actually highly recommend this show! It will keep you on your toes & leave you scratching your head.

There's good & bad elements to this show, with a very smart although convoluted twist/misdirect standing out as a huge positive that nearly counteracts the sometimes inexcusable acting, over-the-top drama, and unrealistic plot turns. Overall, being only 7 episodes, I would recommend it for someone who has Netflix and is looking for something to get into requiring minimal commitment. It is a good thing it isn't any longer of a series though, because this show would definitely prove that too much can be a very bad thing. 6/10; an intriguing mystery that is weighed down by being a little too heavy handed.

I like Michelle Monaghan, so decided to try.

The movie plot is not terrible, but it's not well executed unfortunately. Too many flashbacks.

At first glance I thought the Sheriff would be annoying, but she ended up being the best part! I hope I see her in more stuff. Kind of like a female Colombo.

Last...I guessed at the ending and was wrong for a change. (I guess there's that.)
