...and put bread in my jar

OMG....The Following. You’ve made me hate it all over again after I had finally exorcised it from my brain.

And I don’t understand why the defense attorney couldn’t easily neuter the revelations about his stoic behavior;

“Thank you for pointing out that in SPITE of that tragedy and family breakdown, my client went on to complete med school and had a successful 35 years as an empathetic pediatric oncologist without any…

He went on to become a successful doctor and lived around 40-45 years without a hint of a problem - and you say that it’s OBVIOUS that his behavior from that age predicted murdering someone? The story didn’t develop crap about him hiding being a psycho. THAT would have been a better story. As in my example you could…

And Chernobyl was brilliantly cast, but was not a star vehicle, so there is hope, but it’s declining year by year.

And let’s back up a little bit; what in the hell was with Elena’s seductive painting of Grace? Why were they so familiar in the locker room? Why did Elena put her bush a foot from Grace’s face? Did they edit out an entire plot point about an lesbian affair at the studio? Early on I thought Sunderland did it to protect…

Eggzakly. Also, throw in the singing over the intro and the incessant close ups. She’s talented and wealthy enough to not do this crap. but money is money. (It’s all relative I guess. I’m a rich man in he eyes of the Salvadoran guy selling flowers in the median for $10 a day. I always remember those guys when I’m…

And then they just fly away with the boy. “Excuse me, we have a few ques.....”

I meant to add in my other post that the disclosures from his mother to Grace didn’t even speak to his eventual psychopathic rage directed at Elena. He was as stoic 14 yr old who accidently helped get his little sister killed by a car. HE didn’t push in front of the car, so ‘exposing’ all of that at trial SHOULD have…

Amazing how they basically call that out through the Defense attorney. Not was only stupid of “him” it was incredibly stupid of the writers.  

Excellent review. It was nice to read an honest accounting after seeing a few of these reviewers resort to fanboy gushing no matter how poor the production. So much material trash in this dumpster fire. In no particular order:
Any killer would have been covered in blood, brains, an bone bits, but the writing was too…

The Prosecutor’s opening statement seemed more like a defense attorney setting up reasonable doubt. “The defendant and victim had sex, were having a affair, no motive, oh, and we don’t have the murder weapon either.”

I still haven’t recovered rom her lead role in Community’s Season 2 Western Paintball parody. O M G

Sound off: Who’s your likely murderer? My projected finish:

I stopped giving details like that any credence in HBO productions. They increasingly pull shit out of the dryer, say it’s not wrinkled, and put it on and go to work.

It would be the kind of ending they pull out of thin air after mostly ignoring it for five weeks, like typical HBO fare, but you are right that it has some merit.

But I’m sticking with their son. I think he killed her for sexing up both of his parents and possibly breaking up his family. After all, now he has a…

Due to casting of Noah Jupe and foreshadowing, I am sticking with my call that the son killed her because he thought Elena was breaking up his family. They’ve spent only enough time to establish him as more than a mere accessory character and foreshadowed a few things like apparently having knowledge of breaking in to…

True, but why write that exchange about getting in to his dad’s phone?  I just think it’s some foreshadowing going on - Chekov’s Gun and all that.

If it’s her and she is setting up her husband for revenge, it makes no sense to show her acting shocked or afraid or confused, when she is alone and making phone calls or wandering through her own house, except to be a bogus misdirection device by the writer. She also visually imagined the rather specific murder…

...which was awful on many levels except CGI.
