Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

westsideschl Longer and more disconcertingly complicated (zzzzzz!) than it needed to be (filling air time I suppose) so I dozed off at times. Usual flashbacks as a substitution for good writing, editing, directing, acting to make it into a mysterious convoluted entanglement of suspects, motives & misdirections, but missed. Typical several murder suspects for us to wade through enhanced by comical, sloppy & not-too-believable police work. There's another year? Help!

coopersi-69657 We binge watched this and were somewhat intrigued until the final episode, at which time we felt completely ripped off. We had just wasted 6 hours.

Luke2222 From the beginning, it seemed intriguing. I loved how series started exploring life of Olivia before her death, I loved that we found out a lot of things about her life. However, it was too slow and there might have been many unnecessary moments. As the story progresses after Olivia's death, show becomes better. I liked Petra dynamics. However, most suspects were offscreen, they were mentioned but not shown. Not sure how to feel about that. It became a lot better than the beginning at the end but somehow the writers managed to mess improvement up. The ending was unrealistic. First, Joel's confession. Sure, he had some problems in past but his memories came OUT OF NOWHERE. Even if he didn't remember what he was doing/where he was at the time Olivia was murdered, it made 0 sense. And the second thing that didn't make sense. Petra. She was honestly my favorite character. She was fighting to prove her brother's innocence so hard, and all of sudden she's OK with Joel going to jail after his confession even though she knows he is innocent. It just doesn't make sense. Suddenly she doesn't care anymore. I understand Joel is no one for her but I don't buy that after all that, she couldn't care less. Alan suddenly became very supportive of Petra. That didn't make much sense either. There were many unnecessary moments that just confused me as a viewer. We never saw what happened to Joel, or even Eric (I think he should have appeared in the finale, even for a minute maybe), also that lead detective. I disliked last scene because it was out of context. Did Petra get inspired with Olivia's work all of sudden? Taking consideration things mentioned above, it was an average show, boring at times. Peaked in 3-5 episodes but as I said above, finale completely destroyed improvement after first two episodes. The worst thing for me is the UNREALISTIC ending, which made me regret watching the show.

alexm-64443 Not bad and watchable but it never lifts off. The writing and editing stink. Much of the dialogue doesn't work; many of the actors aren't believable. The lead detective and the chief of police behave more like primary school teachers. than cops. Most of the acting is stiff. The two lawyers get it right but that's about it. Again, if you're stuck at home on a cold and rainy night this series will be better than poke in the eye with a sharp stick but that's about it. BTW, Slidell, LA is a suburb of New Orleans with all the regular suburban stuff: traffic, tract homes, strip centers. What were they thinking? They weren't
