I didn't finish the movie...and the 80% of it that I watched, I did it over two sittings!
I very rarely do that!
The movie is as boring as watching snails race, sweet Jesus!!!
The amount of never-ending dialogue between two people, mostly about their feelings (the best I can tell as I couldn't really focus) is abysmal!
There was pretty much just one location, the house, and, as I just mentioned, 99% of what was happening in it was the painfully boring, wooden dialogue that seemed to go on forever.
And the movie makes you watch the same damn moments from multiple points of view, to top it all off!!!
Right, that's enough from me. Two stars is generous as it is.

This series is a textbook example of "liquid excrement"!
The cast is great, the music is great, the cinematography is great, the editing is great, and the directing is fine, I suppose... But the whole thing put together is..."liquid excrement"!
It's like a French dish - pretentious and contrived.
You asked for a cheese sandwich and they brought you a bread tower with seven different types of cheese, three types of butter, eighteen types of pickles, some vegetables you've never heard of, and about three hundred different herbs and spices. The entire thing tastes like a WWI German gas attack happening in your mouth!
That's what I think about Lady in the Lake.
I gave it three stars because of the individual aspects of this garbage. On their own, they're fine, but the finished product is...well, "liquid excrement"!
I started getting that weird taste in my mouth towards the end of episode one and, I must say, it only intensified as the series went on. And when it finally finished, I felt intellectually violated. But...I didn't pay for the damn thing so...that's one good thing about having watched it.
And if you're one of those people who thinks movies are all art, I guess you'll just like anything.
To me, Lady in the Lake is a form over substance crock of "liquid excrement" and, ultimately, I don't care the music was good or how competent the cinematography was, because, after consuming the whole product, I had to spend three hours in the john battling diarrhoea!

...otherwise it would've been two or one!
Why?
Because of the typical, bland, audience-pleasing, Hollywood ending!
The original ending was PERFECT!
It's what made the original movie unique and utterly terrifying!
It's what made it worth waiting to the end of what would otherwise be a painfully awkward experience!!!
The grand payoff WAS the anticlimactic finale of the original film, dammit!!!
But I guess some studio executive YOYO thought it'd be safer and more disneyesque to slap a cookie cutter ending on the new version NO ONE ASKED FOR so it can be just like twenty thousand other thriller movies crapped out by Weirdowood in the last thirty years!
