L'ultima cosa che mi ha detto

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 can deal with a show that's a slow burn, but the step daughter is so over-the-top annoying and horrible that the story isn't enough to keep me interested. Turned it off during episode 3. The daughter was terrible and Jennifer Garner was so weak that I couldn't hang.

Am I missing out on a great show? Possibly. But the writers probably should have done a better job making her less "extra" so viewers weren't turned off.

Other than that, the acting is decent. There aren't a lot of scenes to stretch anyone's acting chops. Feel free to watch at your own risk. Maybe you'll have a better experience than I did.

The show follows Hannah and her stepdaughter Bailey as they are searching for her husband that has suddenly disappeared.

It's not that the show was bad, but it wasn't particularly memorable. The first 3 episodes are slow and kind of boring. The stepdaughter is on another level of mean, and Hannah has no idea how to manage this teenage girl. Then we have two episodes that are good, and the last ones that were such disappointing reveals. I suppose that I came out of it thinking "that's it?! Really?"

I finished this show two or three weeks ago (I'm late in my review posting), and i already don't fully remember the twist... i don't know if it was the story, as the book is quite successful, but the show was missing something for me. Perhaps a show format was a mistake in this case. It dragged on the story for too long, and there was a lack of displaying details. I understand the difficult task of wanting to adapt a book into an audiovisual format, and to want as many elements of the books as possible, but that's the thing about adaptations. They are made to adapt and change the story to fit the different medium. I think this show could have been a movie, and it probably would have been a better adaptation, as we didn't need that much filler to tell this story. As for the acting, it was good actors, but no outstanding performance.

If you like an afternoon slow thriller that you don't fully need to pay attention to, sure watch it. But there are so many other shows out there that are worth more your time than this. But you won't get anything more than an okay experience watching this. I usually love Apple TV shows, but this one was a bit of a let down.

I enjoyed the first few episodes but sadly it's gone downhill since.

I have always thought Jennifer Garner was a good actress but not in this drama. She actually gets worse in each episode and in today's (episode 6) she seemed to sleepwalk through it with her eyes half closed. I find it impossible to feel any sympathy for the dilemma she and Bailey find themselves in as they are both unlikeable and after six episodes there is little sign of their relationship improving.

Hanna thinks she knows better then anyone else and spends a lot of time bossing people about - like her best friend without considering she may be leading them into danger.

Someone described it elsewhere as dry and dull- I agree.

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.
