The Last Thing He Told Me

The show started off strong and intriguing, but overall it falls quite flat. Overall the acting is mediocre at best. I was looking forward to the episodes release each week until week until about episode 5 maybe. It's generally the same thing happening week to week with no real payouts at the end of it! Jennifer Garner carried the show the best she could, but her alone can't fix poor writing and direction. It's just a bit boring and formulaic for my tastes. I had high hopes for this one, but I should have stayed true to my system of keeping my expectations low so I'm not disappointed. I wanted to like it, I really did.

...too slow for me.

The build-up is not bad, but the relationship between Garner and her stepdaughter is ridiculously bad. The first episode stretched like a piece of chewing gum. Endless talks And why do all TV teenagers act so incredibly bad-tempered? I guess it's one of those things.

Too bad for Jennifer Garner, who is a great actress and wastes her talent here. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is way to underated here. I wonder where the chemistry between Garner and him is, if there has ever been one.

The second episode beginns even slower. The realtionship between wife and stepdaughter hasn't change after what they have been through. Sorry, abother dud from Apple.

This wasn't terrible, but kind of dull and mediocre. It started off with an interesting premise, but then became increasingly boring and illogical. Most of the series could have been avoided with some skilled use of Google. Instead, the "mystery" is drawn out with awkward avoidance of technology and inexplicable character choices. It somehow managed to feel too long, but also too shallow. I think there was a good story there, but it was buried in an attempt to be a plot-driven thriller, rather than a character-centered drama. Also, Jennifer Garner is a beautiful woman, but her lack of ability to move her forehead and obviously fake eyelashes were really distracting. It's unfortunate that Hollywood puts such enormous pressure on actresses to look forever young, at the cost of looking natural and interesting.

Not the worst thing to watch, by any means, but not especially memorable.

I think this would have been much more pleasant to watch if the step daughter was not so disgustingly rude. How any parent can have their child speak to adults in that kind of way is beyond me. Do we have to endure this type of behaviour in reality and on screen? What on earth for... Wish Garner wouldn't be such a doormat and would have not accepted this rude girl talking to her like that. And especially the husband not punishing his daughter for her rude behaviour towards his wife. Tired of spoilt unruly youngsters... But the story is interesting and I am looking forward to finding out what happened.

I enjoyed the first few episodes but sadly it's gone downhill since.

I have always thought Jennifer Garner was a good actress but not in this drama. She actually gets worse in each episode and in today's (episode 6) she seemed to sleepwalk through it with her eyes half closed. I find it impossible to feel any sympathy for the dilemma she and Bailey find themselves in as they are both unlikeable and after six episodes there is little sign of their relationship improving.

Hanna thinks she knows better then anyone else and spends a lot of time bossing people about - like her best friend without considering she may be leading them into danger.

Someone described it elsewhere as dry and dull- I agree.
