Remember that cargo ship that got stuck in the Suez Canal? I feel like you could float that thing through the plot holes in this show. But I thought the premise of going back and forth in time on same day was something new and kind of fun.

Same.

Although it seemed ridiculous to me that Kate, who was completely free at the time, would be mad at anyone (Jeanette or Mallory) who saw her. Kate actually left the house after the “sighting” to peer into her parents window.

Mallory is just awful.


+1 to all of this


+2. I also wish Jeanette hadn’t dropped her lawsuit. Her father was destroyed by Kate’s proclamation.

I think there's still a decent amount of story. The first season covered June-December-ish over 93, 94, & 95, I think a season 2 could cover January-May of 94, 95, & 96 and cover the following:

1. We didn't see Jeanette's transformation.
2. It was reported that Martin died in a shootout, which would have been easily disputed by the police, so there was some amount of cover up, ie, I assume Kate called her parents first, and they got the right people involved for "finding her"
3. We never got the fallout of Kate's sister catfishing her, or Jeanette's brother leaking their conversation.
4. Jeanette is a psychopath and knows Kate's big secret.
5. Whatever exactly is going on with Kate and Mallory.


"whatever is going on with Kate and Mallory" - do you mean that they are attracted to each other/relationship vibes or something else? because that seemed obvious prior to the kiss. (Maybe you were being kind to avoid spoilers -welp sorry ya'll)

I liked it a lot but felt let down in this episode right up to the last scene. Still lots of holes in the plot.

I never like Mallory.

This show was so good, I will watch any mystery/murdery show and wasn't expecting much since this is technically a teen show but I was pleasantly surprised!

Eh. Don’t care.

Give us a new story


I would watch the list, plus the back story of the two moms and how Jeanette's mom comes to suspect she is a psychopath.

Still don’t like Mallory. She didn’t deserve a happy ending.

But good ending. Creep is right

It was a good show and they did a great job of not confusing you with the all of the time changes (it could have been a hot mess).

I think a second season will be a different story with new characters.

The ending was good.

Good episode, I wonder what they will have for a second season. (this is why I said it reminds me of 13 Reasons - everything was wrapped up and I'm not sure a second season is necessary or will be as good)


They have confirmed a second season, but hasn't said if it's the same storyline/cast.
