I just finished it. The finale was so good.

Usually finales to mysteries (i.e. who did its) can often be very disappointing if the writing/plot isn't super sharp (and people on Reddit were going crazy with their own theories before the finale). But this one actually got me and most people seem rather satisfied with the finale.

[Spoiler (click to open)]I never read the book or saw the original movie, but the ending of those did get spoiled to me a few weeks ago. Glad the new show pivoted a bit with a twist. The acting performances from the entire cast was phenomenal.

Did you watch the Fatal Attraction tv adaptation? It was overall ok but I was honestly hoping for a second season and was sad when it was cancelled.

I was hoping for a second season too. I actually enjoyed the show but I'm easy when it comes to murder mystery type stories.

The characters were great. I have to say that Joshua Jackson’s performance felt the weakest to me though. I don’t want to compare the show to the movie but at least Michael Douglas had this douchy charisma while Jackson’s portrayal was just plain douche lol.

Plus I love Toby Huss and it would have been nice to watch him in something regularly again.

I did! I thought it was generally good though I think Presumed Innocence was done a bit better.
