Critics Consensus

Jennifer Garner's sensitive performance brings some heart to the proceedings, but monotonous pacing and a glossy veneer keep this mystery from standing out from the pack.

For being classified as a “thriller” by Wikipedia and IMDb (and classified as more of a “mystery” by me) the show is full of heart, largely because of Jennifer Garner’s naturally gentle nature.

The storytelling is too clean, the relationships carefully mapped out, the plot revelations neatly segmented. Nothing leaps off the screen.

1.5/4

When considering the enormous glut of content on streaming service after streaming service, there's simply no good reason to bother with this one.

The Last Thing He Told Me plays out like an average thriller with nothing new to offer but works for a lazy afternoon watch.

It's an interesting premise but lacks the kind of edgy urgency that would make it into a compelling thriller.

4.5/10

The Last Thing He Told Me is a toothless family drama that’s too unsatisfying to even be just a fun mystery, making this one of Hello Sunshine’s most lackluster titles.

Interesting series, fairly OK... not great acting end unbelievable plot line ... Jennifer Gardner plays her part just like she plays all the parts. A little awkward.. the actress playing the daughter is terrible at acting . f you don't have anything else to do on a Sunday afternoon it's a good background show to have on in the background

Watched this on an Air France flight. It starts off with an intriguing mystery, but gradually becomes oddly boring. Definitely not something I’d choose to continue watching at home.

Terrible show.Don't waste your time.The writing is horrible and it doesn't really take you anywhere but in circles it makes you frustrated and ask yourself why you wasted your time.Following this, never ending mary go round of nothingness

Just not very good. Too stereotypical.

Not as smart or dramatic as it thinks it is, but it has some solid story beats and it's weirdly well acted given the sometimes shlocky lines
