A seemingly perfect husband is video taped holding a sign claiming he's a murderer . Everyone is super quick to believe it, but there's more to the story than meets the eye. I think keeping it a mini series was a smart decision . The pacing is quick, there are no unnecessary romantic story lines and the acting is fairly believable. Very watchable!

A man is kidnapped and a video on line says he is an abuser of women and has killed one. At 5 million views, he dies. We start at this beginning, and each episode shuffles back and forth in time. And each episode shows from a different person's perspective, Rashomon style. Each episode goes deeper into the mystery uncovering more secrets. The main problem is that as it gets deeper into the story, the more outrageous the plot points become. And the final real answer is the biggest of let downs in recent trlevision. Add in some really annoying characters, this becomes a copy of any Harlan Coben mystery on Netflix.

This is really well made and tells a story, that does begin with one thing and turns out to be something else entirely. At first you kind of think and feel this being a Saw style show. Of course with someone in peril and the public being the judge of that said person ... what would you do? Now I know that I might try a few things differently, but overall the suspense and everything happening seems legit.

Every episode will show happenings mostly from one perspective ... while further developing the story. Sometimes going into the past just to come back to the present. There are many twists and turns all around and I would say they work out quite well. There is one thing that we see during the final episode (which depicts the "past" as in happened during other episodes that were prior to this), that does not sit well with me. A decision by one major character, that can only be called ... fatal and not very bright. First places to go after something happened to you and all that ... you'll figure it out.

Apart from that, the acting is really good and all the twists and turns work. Even the final one as I would call it. You may feel it is weak, which is fair enough, but it does make sense in the overall context of things. Well told and well edited, you get suspense from start to finish ... not to mention many different emotions.

It was actually quite depressing the whole time, but I was still invested in the story. I really enjoyed everyone's acting, I thought it was a highlight of the show. I think the concept is interesting, but I feel like they should have titled it something else, though they might have spoiled it. The show starts out as one thing, and in the end is so different than what we thought at the beginning. I will give them an A for plot twists!! I thought I had guessed the mystery way back in episode two, and I almost thought I was going to be confirmed right, but was proven wrong and it went somewhere I never thought of!

The story line of the series was entertaining, but it could have been so much better... Pia was just plain annoying. What's with Netflix script writers having to create their main women characters to be hysterical raging looneys? No one would want to help Pia and her attitude, but Netflix has her Tinder match a detective who is supposedly still interested after experiencing her rage behavior. Yeah right...
