I never really considered her that serious an actor, but she is jaw-droppingly good in this. Like Kate Winslet in Mare of Easttown level-or better. I would be shocked if Seyfried doesn't take home best actress at the Emmy's. Her performance is so fluid, so natural, so understated yet full of depth. I'm like floored how good she is. (Other actors/casting also great. Maybe that means the directing is great too? I do like the choices of how scenes and episodes end-a little unconventional but with a poignant beauty. So let's give it up for the director & maybe editor too!). Bravo all around. See it!

Some reviewers mentioning plot holes weren't watching closely enough. I found this pretty captivating. I liked Rebecca's slightly overwrought acting, Julien being a proven slimeball who remains somehow sympathetic, which makes Rebecca's slight inclination toward him relatable. The son was charming, the mystery was unpredictable, Rebecca's begrudging respect from her team members was believable owing to her driven yet somehow selfless obsession and talent for sniffing down the right clues. Not a bad show. I kind of look forward to what they'll do with her characters new direction in season 2.

Comparisons with Marcella are apt, but I don't remember S1 of Marcella ending the same way.
