Great premise, good first hour...


-- some terrific acting, wonderful photography, a few witty lines, and a lackluster and less-than-imaginative wrap-up.

Agreed..... What I can't figure is what was the need of the DW character pretending to be arrested ??? When DW tells TR "we already found the poison" I thought "ok, wow, what was the need of faking Paul's death and Alex's arrest? I understand that it was done to fool the audience and through a twist ending to us, but if you're going to do that then at least include a payoff for this trickery! It seems the writers forgot that part, to me that's just sloppy, lazy work.

-- so I won't even try.

I wish the ending was darker - Alex stays in prison for the death of Paul but Catherine goes to jail when it's revealed that she was more likely to have killed Shin.
