She is a horrible caricature, completely unbelievable unless your're into anti-Semitic stereotypes. It's hard to believe Mort would actually marry her.

He's very likeable in the role.

Honestly, I didn't get that at all. In fact, in the book the full scope of Amy's various misdeeds (her burning need to exact revenge) is much more detailed, and she comes off as more of a monster than in the film.

The most shocking thing to me is the information in her bio that Gwen Ihnat actually teaches writing. While it isn't as dismally banal and full of elementary errors as Sofia Saraiya's, it's still depressingly juvenile.

The series starts off well but unfortunately ends up a mess. It was very disappointing to watch as the writing descends into cliched predictability and melodrama.

No, they're bad critics.

"It’s powerful, heartbreaking stuff that leaves you wondering how anyone could still doubt the intelligence and weight of this show."

Pretty much everything has already been said in the existing comments about this terrific episode, but can I just state how pleasurable it is to watch the incredibly high level of cinematography and editing in the best TV series these days?

But a 20th century woman like Claire might very well ask for a razor, soap, and hot water if she's used to shaven armpits and legs.

Definitely rewatch it. Now that you know the format you'll appreciate the structure much more.

I gave this a try at the behest of a fellow teacher and ended up binge-watching all the episodes over the last two evenings. I have to say that it's a very enjoyable not-so-guilty-at-all pleasure. Part of that pleasure comes from watching a cast of actors who, except for Tobias Menzies, whom I know from Rome and GoT,…

Actually, that's a very good point, though it doesn't lessen my enjoyment of the series so far.

Tell your friends.

I don't believe that. I just see it as Foulkes the DA determined to get a confession so he could add a conviction to his win column and thereby up his chances of advancing politically, which is what happened.

I'm not sure any of us are supposed to completely understand yet. I came away feeling that Jared has developed a connection to Hanna Dean through listening to the tape. She and Daniel were just about Jared's age now when the murder occurred, and in trying to figure out what happened Jared has become very curious…

I think it would be great if all prosecutors were like Sam Waterston's character in Law and Order in that he always seemed to want the evidence to add up, to get the truly guilty party convicted, but unfortunately most prosecutors just want to win their cases.

Fillerish? No way. I loved Lezley. He's one of the best of many memorable characters.

But I think the sheriff was annoyed by Teddy's change of mind.

Yes! I forgot that. It was almost like a little throwaway bit tossed in there which could prove very significant since George is dead and Trey in full ass-covering mode.

But you're forgetting the video tape, the discovery of George's body, and the sheriff sending Trey's DNA to the crime lab— all of which tend to favor Daniel.
