Deadline

If you can imagine a Harlen Coben novel filmed by the same people that filmed Poirot back in the day, then you're probably the same age as me and have come to expect better from today's film and tv makers. This is very below standard and only got 4 stars from me because of the ending. My advice would be, give it a miss and rewatch Poirot instead.

Just to follow-on what others have said -- the series was horrible, full of plot holes, unlikable characters, shoddy writing, and a ridiculous & telegraphed ending. I also wanted to reinforce another observation: for the plot to work the series has to create the DUMBEST detectives imaginable, not allowing them to have any thought of a forensic examination of phones, emails, laptops or any physical evidence whatsoever. Finally, I get the irritating sense that the writers want us to sympathize with the the sociopathic murderer, who in the end hectors us with this embarrassingly triumphant speech about how "nobody listened to me, now it's my time to speak." Eye-rolling, immature and completely self-absorbed writing.

I share the reviews already published about the stupidity of this story - especially the ridiculous final episode.

The lead is supposed to be an experienced investigative journalist but made errors that would not be made by such a person in real life.

Like others who have commented, I found the ending simply unbelievable..

Starts off really well in fact the first three episodes are excellent and then we come to the final episode and wow, it all goes very wrong ! The plot and backstory become very convoluted and confusing and to my absolute amazement, I didn't even bother watching the end. It's not like me to give up on a movie/ drama but it really did become lost and and an earlier night in bed was more appealing! S such a shame as the acting is excellent I'm so surprised that anybody thought this final episode would have a cut the mustard! Disappointing.

I felt generous when I gave it 3 stars. A total waste of 4 hours of my life. I won't be watching a repeat. I had no sympathy for any of the characters and frankly wonder why they wasted any time making it! I sat through it only because I'm a companion to someone who's deaf and often needs help with understanding.
