Carli L @RT51230253 Mar 12 I loved this show until the big reveal (not a spoiler here). From the very first episode they tease the ending.... the group has killed someone. But WHO? Mild spoilers from here: The trad trope is that the victim is VERY bad - often someone with a hold over one/all of the cast. Someone evil who causes their own death, and puts the cast in a position where a cover-up is necessary and inevitable to protect themselves. The writers have gone a different route here and all I can say is that their choice SUCKS BIG ONES. It pretty much ruins the show. The cast are magnetic and work well together, though some plotlines are better than others. Melissa Fumero, Aja Naomi King and Ben Rappaport are standouts. I would watch Melissa Fumero open a bag of chips! But then... the ending crashes and burns. All they had to do was follow the blazing path forged by the tropes and drive that baby home. Instead they drove it into a wall and smashed their audience goodwill into smithereens. See more angela g @Sunflower378 Jan 8 The show was great. The cast was good annasophia robb was awesome in this show as well as the other cast members. The mystery was intriguing. The twist was unexpectng. Definitely watch this show so it can get a cult following. I was also upset we never got a season 2. But it still was a great show. Watch it. See more Daniel G @RT07623040 Nov 12 I want a season 2. Really good show annasophia robb and the cast was great the story was good it kept you on the edge of your seat the twist was unexpected. And they leave it on a cliffhanger i want a season 2.

Nearly every character in this show had morality issues and there was a lot of infidelity and sexual stuff that made it hard to really care about anyone of the characters. Brett was the only likeable character. I liked the nonlinear storytelling, it was fresh and different, and I liked how they incorporated phrases like “present day” or “six month earlier” into things like a tattoo, a milk carton, or things like that. I will say the show keeps you hooked and wanting to watch more because you just want to know who the dead person is. The show does an excellent job at making you think it’s one person, then changing it the next episode. The season did start to feel a big dragged out at times and I’m glad I finally finished it, I don’t think it’s a show I personally would recommend.

But, without spoiling anything, everything from there forward was atrocious and embarrassing. Only Game of Thrones has fumbled the bag on the same level with an ending. See more Read all reviews
