WHAT | A family man finds the body of a young boy and quickly becomes the prime murder suspect. He has no choice but to try to find the real killer as his marriage, his kids, his reputation and his sanity are all at stake.

As Phillippe practically made me gay, I hope this is a success. The man is still absolutely gorgeous. And that voice is so sexy.

I will be watching. Cruel Intentions has been my favorite movie since I was in middle school.

Shut up! I can quite that movie like nobody's business.

I had a twitter conversation once with him about how he helped an entire generation find their gayness lol.

He's stellar. I also think he's a very underrated actor and loved seeing him do his thing on the last season on damages.

Looks really good - but as two seasons max.

loved Phillippee since One Life to Live, this looks more like it should be a mini series than a tv show

Agreed, though I didn't think Revenge's premise would allow to last 3 seasons and it has. Who knows.

Looks good, but should be a mini series.

Holy [!@#$%^&*] this looks AMAZING and what a great cast. So glad to see KaDee Strickland getting work. Her work on PP especially during Charlotte's rape was unreal. Love her.

Excellent excellent excellent. The title lets it down but that's fine. This looks superb.

I'm curious to see how this version will differ from the original version other then then gender of the investigator changing.

The original version is on.Netflix and was a pretty good six episode series.
