I hope this does not get a season 2.

I thought the finale was underwhelming tbh.

Same. I hadn't read the book but I wish they would have kept it more similar, at least with the Hope part. I thought that's where it was headed. I don't really like that everything was left unresolved and open to interpretation.

A show in which evans was one of the best actor doesn't deserve a second season

Jacob totally did it

That pos definitely did it. I hate that they gave the mom amnesia bc what’s the point of her character development in the end if she just resets to before it happened? Cop out honestly.

I thought that she was just playing dumb. That she knew what she did but didn’t want to own up to it because they both survived and she didn’t want to get arrested for her actions. Similar to what Jacob was doing.

The book was less ambiguous and it pisses me off they decided to make it that the girl in Mexico survived. She died in the book making it obvious mom wasn't crazy. Apparently the decision was up to Jaeden(the actor who plays the boy) whether he did it so they went with that ending.

do you mean that one interview where Jaeden said that the director left it up to him to decide whether or not his character was guilty? I took that as it was up to him to play him guilty or not, not for him to decide the ending.... they would never leave something like that up to an actor.
