I thought it was your pick as well, Cat.  In the end, she was as useful to the show as a 98 year old hooker.  I saw no point to her other than a Red Herring Wench!

 

Jonathan's Plan B was atrocious and Grace did the right thing.  

 

Underwhelming ending that didn't match the high powered lawyer hired to defend Jonathan.   

 

And YES!  Noma Dumezweni was positively marvelous!  What I love about streaming and all the new shows is that some wonderful talent is being missed otherwise.  Major networks don't believe in this kind of talent.  They just recycle the same mediocre actors.  It's boring.. 

 

Finally, the less said about Kidman, the absolute better.

I didn't realize the last episode was a few days ago and saw it trending during POTOMAC.

 

I'm half way in and wow...still loving and trying to figure out what could be going on. She just found out that the husband's job is not his job. So...?

 

Nicole Kidman's mane is boss.

Cat & Chit, agree with both.

 

When Jonathan wanted to blame his SON, he made (another) fatal mistake.

 

The killer/ending was slightly underwhelming but overall I'm very happy with the series.

 

Hayley was AMAZING. I will never forget "I am not funny."

Moving through Episode 4 (and will probably take a break)...

 

...if the Husband did not do it, he is doing a great job of acting like he didn't. And yet so many questions off of him. 

 

I agree with his lawyer though.

 

He and Grace are both withholding. But the question would be...what?

HAHAHAHA!!! Episode 5 and the lawyer got that officer all the way together. 

 

LOVE.

 

Great scene over what was said as well as the subtext I suspect the writers were going for by saying the officer was more interested in the rich white man than the not rich ethnic man.

Red Herring is right. I read an article somewhere (can't remember where otherwise I would link it here) that posited that the entire show is basically red herrings. The fact is, the murderer is very obviously right in front of our eyes but all the way through, we kind of disbelieve that he might be the murderer -- the same way Grace questions it throughout.

 

In effect, the audience goes through a process of self-delusion too -- part of which, of course, is due to the way we have been 'conditioned' by shows like these never to believe that the actual murderer is the first and most obvious suspect.

 

Noma was great, and apparently a highly acclaimed British theatre actor! The prosecuting attorney was played by a Danish actor (she was lead in the original The Killing in Denmark and was brilliant), and Edgar Ramirez who played the police officer is Venezuelan. I love that we get to see actors we wouldn't necessarily find in mainstream US TV. Noma inhabited the character of Haley like a second skin and stood out in every scene she was in.

 

 

So, rumor is there may be a S2...?

      Yes. That's called good writing.

      interesting idea.  That makes sense, as MVJ seems to have set up each character development (traits) for future plot developments.

      I really enjoyed today's episode. It showcased a lot of the other cast and I saw hints of storyline potential (Smitty & Bill). Martin definitely has some anger issues and I recall him being overly scared about protecting his family and having all the doors locked, coming out of one of his "dreams". There's obviously a lot going on there and I can't wait to find out more. I'm thinking June is going to be more than just the issue story of the week. I think she just might be related to one or more of our main characters. As for Tomas, yes, Alex Alegria is not the strongest actor, but he's pretty to look at and he emotes something. I'm just not sure what that something is yet.

      No. Absolutely No. I don't know who this is... since it's just some random Twitter quote... But NO. The only parallel between OG Caroline's leukemia and Liam's tumor... is that they are both having cancer. That's it. Other than that... I see absolutely no similarities.  Caroline hid her sickness almost till the last moment. She was also giving the viewers signs that she is not well for days if not weeks before the diagnosis. It was not like Liam... falling down and hitting his head on a table and bam he has a tumor. Caroline's storyline broke our hearts, because of her attempt to live out the rest of her days with dignity and grace. It was written slowly and with care. What we are seeing right now with Liam is the complete opposite. It's begging the viewers for empathy and cheap tears. It's so in your face and trashy... I can't believe they are using cancer for something like this. Bradley Bell should never do terminal stuff again in his stories. It's borderline offensive to people who actually have lost relatives to cancer. To me it is.

      I was thinking that June could be Kat's mother and Eva is Nicole and Ted's.

      You won't even miss her because Nola will be dominating the show till Raven comes back. Literally... there will be no boring second. Nola is just starting. You won't believe what will follow. Haha. And then as soon as that storyline is finishing up, Raven is back in top form.

      Well good for you. But that's what makes us people. We like and dislike different things.
