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!

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...

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!

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.

I've watched a lot of crime TV with my mom and can usually peg the actual murderer very quickly, but this series did leave me surprised at several points! The ending some would consider a stretch but I personally think it worked. Overall, I enjoyed how the series focused each episode on a different character (if you don't like the character that's the focus of Episode 1, give it until episode 2!) and it really left me wanting to see what came next and which character deep-dive they would do next.

Ultimately, it was enjoyable and I believe it was well-acted. The characters really grew on me, and I became pretty emotionally invested midway through the show. I think it's worth a shot to anyone who enjoys a "whodunnit"!
