Am I the Only One...


...That would have preferred if it ended up that she was just crazy? I knew that it would be that he was the bad guy (because according to Lifetime woman are always wronged by evil men). I think it would have just been more interested to have a woman dealing with PTSD/paranoia/whatever it is she has, and how her husband has to cope with it.

Lifetime women are also wronged by other women who want their boyfriend/husband.

When I watch a psychological thriller I have a preference for an external villain. When there is an external villain, I make the assumption that the instant he/she has been removed from (in this case) the heroine's life, her problems are over and she will live "happily ever after". If the resolution has the principal lead's problems coming from an internal cause that I assume will take years of therapy to solve, my desired "happy ever after" ending is delayed.

I legitimately thought it was just her going off her meds making her be like that, at first, then I thought maybe she was pregnant since she was talking about her emotions being out of whack, until he brought her coffee and dinner at the computer then I figured he was drugging her I was also very shocked that the sister was involved. That poor girl will never have another relationship for the rest of her life she will be so messed up.

After supper when the mother told him the story of how the sister came to the family, I knew the sister was a bad guy, and so he had to be a bad guy. Sometimes it sucks to figure things out so quickly.

I kind of wanted that too. At first I thought they might actually go down the road since she went off her meds but I wasn't surprised that her husband did end up being the one doing it all in the end.
