L'ultima cosa che mi ha detto

This wasn't terrible, but kind of dull and mediocre. It started off with an interesting premise, but then became increasingly boring and illogical. Most of the series could have been avoided with some skilled use of Google. Instead, the "mystery" is drawn out with awkward avoidance of technology and inexplicable character choices. It somehow managed to feel too long, but also too shallow. I think there was a good story there, but it was buried in an attempt to be a plot-driven thriller, rather than a character-centered drama. Also, Jennifer Garner is a beautiful woman, but her lack of ability to move her forehead and obviously fake eyelashes were really distracting. It's unfortunate that Hollywood puts such enormous pressure on actresses to look forever young, at the cost of looking natural and interesting.

Not the worst thing to watch, by any means, but not especially memorable.

I think this would have been much more pleasant to watch if the step daughter was not so disgustingly rude. How any parent can have their child speak to adults in that kind of way is beyond me. Do we have to endure this type of behaviour in reality and on screen? What on earth for... Wish Garner wouldn't be such a doormat and would have not accepted this rude girl talking to her like that. And especially the husband not punishing his daughter for her rude behaviour towards his wife. Tired of spoilt unruly youngsters... But the story is interesting and I am looking forward to finding out what happened.

The show started off strong and intriguing, but overall it falls quite flat. Overall the acting is mediocre at best. I was looking forward to the episodes release each week until week until about episode 5 maybe. It's generally the same thing happening week to week with no real payouts at the end of it! Jennifer Garner carried the show the best she could, but her alone can't fix poor writing and direction. It's just a bit boring and formulaic for my tastes. I had high hopes for this one, but I should have stayed true to my system of keeping my expectations low so I'm not disappointed. I wanted to like it, I really did.

I'll admit the reviews I read prior to watching were not very compelling.

Sometimes, I think we all put those aside when one of your favorite actors is billed, such is the case with Jennifer Gardner.

This is a slow building drama, if you can hang in until the end, you've be rewarded.

A great story, a great cast and some compelling performances.

Jennifer once again favors this show with a signature performance and is ideal of this role. She is very believable and brings the nuance to the role, this character deserves.

The role of Bailey is somewhat polarizing, especially at the beginning. As the story continues, you'll begin to warm to her.

I'm sure Jennifer Garner is why most of us tuned into this series. She's always a joy to watch. It's not the first time she's carried most of a movie herself. Her character reacted to most situations as a typical wife and step-mom could have reacted. The setting throughout was really beautiful -mostly California. Strangely, I kept having "deja vu" moments where I was reminded of past fictional disappearing husbands. Lifetime probably has a month of them. The teenage step-daughter was belligerent and sassy - and not in a cute way. This quickly grew very annoying but eventually she grew out of it. The rest of the cast - hubby; police; friends; and bad guys; were all good. The story did crawl along, though. The pace was really too slow to maintain suspense. The story possibly could have been told in one of two fewer episodes. Jennifer Garner fans will be okay with it.
