wait, what?!
So what actually happened?? I did think from the start that Olivia was killed by the men who wanted her land.
But what happens now, is Joel going to jail for it? And why no mention of Eric? Can we assume he was exonerated?
Did you watch this on HBO or use the app? I dont know how the viewing experience differences between the two. I used the app, and it was quite clear that Joel takes the blame for killing Olivia simply because he felt all the clues pointed to him and he had a history of passing out drunk and waking up, not remembering the events before. So he believes he killed Olivia in another drunken episode. While he is taking the fall for this crime, Petra is at O’Connor’s home confronting Tom with the real evidence against Michael. When Michael arrives to deal with Petra’s blackmail for her silence in return for Michael’s Red Room, he reveals that Joel has confessed to the murder. I think at that point Petra has chalked this all up to another loss and moves on with her life. And Joel takes Eric’s place in prison and Michael continues to go free with yet another man in jail for his crime. Im sure Petra has no intention on helping Joel because she would not want her blackmail with O’Connor to be revealed. I feel so bad for Joel. He literally did nothing wrong and really was a good guy.
shareI watched it on HBO.
Well, I don't see what Petra has to be afraid of - the blackmail would have been just her word against theirs. I'd say that getting Joel out of jail is just not her fight, and apparently no one else cares enough to do anything about it (I mean, there must have been a point to showing us that Joel's wife was cheating on him).
I think I'll rewatch it in the app though - I thought this was a quality series, no idea why it's rated so low on IMDB.
