The teens were all sociopaths but Anna. Andrea may have been, but not enough info to know. She may have just been a run-of-the-mill bully. I think they changed Andrea's death from the book. I *hated* the representation of the female characters in this series. They had no dimension, just crude caricatures other than Anna. |
| Did they ever indicate why the cameraman was cheating on his wife? |
No, Anna doesn't have a sister. She's the main character. Lexie is the blonde anchor who replaced her. |

I liked it, but I do have similar questions as pps with some of the holes. I had it on all day in the background so I may not have been paying super close attention and missed things.
How did Cat/lexy kill her sister? Did she tamper with the inhaler or something? The blackmail was not very clear here. Why the friends would wait 10 years to blackmail her over this? Why were Anna/Richard together in the first place? I want to know more about Lexy - did she stalk anna and get a job at the same place? Doubt it's coincidence. |
| I loved the ending though. I paused the show after lexy got shot and was like "wow, there's still 25m left, wonder what's gonna happen". I loved the twist, even though I had sort of guessed it earlier. I assumed she did have dementia and did it and just didnt remember, not that she was faking it entirely though. I also guessed lexy/cat, but I actually thought it was Anna + Cat doing the killings together. |
Anna's mom tampered with the inhaler, a change from the book I think. But Cat was gleeful about the death as she ate her donuts. |
All of this, yes. Very odd omissions. |
Is the blackmail in the books? Why would the friends blackmail cat when it was alice? So confused lol |
| I disliked all the people in this show but the female detective. Everyone was just so unlikable. I had so many issues with this show. Anna is so argumentative and arrogant but demands people’s attention and time- there’s no universe that exists the people would give her the time of day. And during the ridiculous press conference where Anna takes over the microphone. The whole story and the way the people behave is just so unrealistic. |
| I thought they were blackmailing the other husband over the S&M photos/videos? |
No, that was just one of the many red herrings. Jack assumes there is blackmailing going on when he sees the text messages and video, but there wasn't. Another loose end - we see Jack let himself into the school by way of the chapel on the very night Helen is murdered. But of course, they never circle back and explain what he was doing there. We're supposed to wonder if he killed Helen. It's just all so stupid. |
Huh??? You're saying this happened in the show? It did not. |
| I'm really sick of Jon Bernthal's twitchy good ol' boy schtick. Tessa Thompson is the only thing that made this series watchable. |
Yeah, they flashed back to show the three murders the mom was responsible for. Catherine/Lexy was a sociopath, shown early in Ep 6 emptying her Andrea's inhaler before the sailing outing. |
