Love Meghann Fahy - first time I ever saw her was in White Lotus and I thought she was fantastic. Dakota Fanning was good I thought. NK also good but the accent was terrible. LS was meh and I usually love him.


NK’s Australian accent was terrible? She’s Australian…



Um... she wasn't speaking in her Australian accent. It was supposed to be British but kept lapsing into some other kind of accent, maybe "continental." Very distracting.

Not that the book is a masterpiece, lol, but they added a bunch of unnecessary things (NK’s brother and NK’s scandalous past; third brother and trust that is available after youngest turns 18). They also totally changed the ending. Those who adapted it for the screen said they wanted an intentional ending. They could have gotten that but closer to what the book had. It just felt really busy and hurried by the last episode.


The crazy NK brother thing was bizarre.

Can someone remind me of the book ending?


What was the twist in the book if the 3rd brother/trust was added? That was the whole
Premise Of the murder in the show?

I just finished and feel like so much must be missing - why would Greer write a book about Amelia? What did she do except cheat, lose a friend and hang out until the mystery was solved? She didn’t even help solve it!

Benji was so weird - he doesn’t seem to love her he just wants to have a girlfriend or wife to help him feel normal I guess?

I thought both her and the guy who played her husband were very good in their roles.

I still don’t understand the Bollywood type flash dance at the opening credits. Why?!


The guy who played Dakota Fanning's husband reminded me so much of Chris Pratt!


Yes. And Amelia reminded me of Shannen Doherty.


I thought the French lady was Doherty at first.

Maybe but I enjoyed her- she has a different look than many white women in acting and I had no clue she wasn’t American.


Her strength in that industry.

I loved it. Each episode made me think it was a different person. However, I never thought it was the person it ended up being.


SAME. It was a good twist.

Excellent acting. Liked the story. Thought it was very good all around.

I also didn't get the whole B-train story line. Like, they saw each other once on a train, then spent a few hours together and then...? It seemed so random to throw that in there.


Yeah that plot line went nowhere. I was waiting for him to be gay lovers with the red head engaged guy.


Exactly. Why does she call him while he is awaiting in his chauffeured car waiting for his lawyer to go to the police station the second(??) time, and she admits to him it was her on that B train, then they say bye on the phone But they don't get together after all? Or is there a Part 2?

A few thoughts:

I surprisingly liked this show

It could have been cut down to four episodes

Disliked the ending scenes after Dakota Fanning’s character got busted. Like, it was light hearted? NK’s grandchild will be born in prison and her eldest son doesn’t seem to give a crap? It’s so bizarrely light hearted. Weird vibes.

Was impressed with Eve Hewson, her American accent was good. Also her body is ridiculously hot yet normal. Jeez.

She's miscast in this, has been really good in other series.


From reading the book, I would say she is well cast but her husband was not.


+1
I thought she was great in this role. She was supposed to be "different" from all the other cookie-cutter characters. I found the actor who portrayed Benji, however, to be unbelievably creepy.
