Ret spændende og fed serie med nogle vilde cliffhangers i hvert afsnit, så den er ikke til at smide fra sig 😅 Altid sjovt at se Sofie Gråbøl i en amerikansk rolle

This thriller kept me guessing till the very end. It is well paced and although it seems simple, it doesn’t give anything away till the end. Both Hugh Grant and Nicole Kidman are fantastic.

Gripping but lazy. Nicole Kidman gives a plastic performance and it’s a pretty straightforward plot that is mired by red herrings.

Really liked this! (Except the last episode) really struggled to decide between 7 or 8 but it was filmed and acted well so 8 for now.. Had me fairly gripped and curious throughout.  I had no idea what this was going to be about at all when I started. First episode or so was a touch odd but glad I kept going. 🕵🏽‍♀️ Had me questioning what really happened throughout. Once I *thought* I knew something, then another moment would make question it entirely.  Picked up for me especially for Ep 4-5 😢 There was an emotional scene with Hugh Grant in ep5 that actually had me crying with him; that moment was especially well acted. 😮 Such a nice surprise to see Sofie Gråbøl in this!  (Lund from Forbrydelsen ♡) And really liked Lily Rabe in this! Thought she played her character really well. 👀 *SPOILERS* 👀 Last episode was a bit of a surprise. The sudden showing of Grant's true nature and the kidnapping. Felt unrealistic. Honestly surprised it was who it was.. almost feels too obvious, when there were so many other potential outcomes.  Car chase was as predicted, somehow knew he was going to recklessly drive them to a bridge and try to kill himself. For a hot minute thought he was gonna take the son with him too. Though it felt unrealistic, narcissists DO think they can get away with anything so guess it checks out.. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Yeah, then it all works out. Police chase, helicopters land, son and her safe, he's arrested. So, honestly the ending was a let down. Felt like a "classic thriller ending" - not in a good way. 🤔 I think to make Grant suddenly turn into this monster that he'd concealed so well for SO long was poor writing and unrealistic. If he was that bad then glimpses would have come out earlier.. and if a bit shows then fair but not full on crazy. 🔪 I was actually hoping they'd make Kidman the killer, what with her having those visions of the girl's last moments saying 'please' before being struck.. everything pointing to him but she did it. And she never spoke of the girl kissing her, being naked and weirdly close.  Also I mean even the son was plausible, with knowing of the affair and having the weapon. 💭 My opinion, I would have had Grant seem the obvious all along, even seem narcissistic/ sociopathic/ psychopathic with the sister death event and no grief.. but really Kidman was playing them all. Being a psychologist, she knows how to play people, knew of affair, killed her, pretends to turn on husband for truth but really an easy alibi and revenge for affair. He gets imprisoned but actually is just a man who never knew how to show grief, gets played by weird obsessive woman, and then pinned for crime never committed.  🙋🏻‍♀️ And she gets away with it all and starts new with son and you wonder what she could get away with next...

I feel like the writers room missed the memo. This wasn’t supposed to be a whodunit mystery. It was meant to be a psychological thriller where the wife begins to pull back the veil on her marriage. It seems like they couldn’t fully commit to either direction resulting in an abysmal six episodes.

En udmærket serie med det klassiske drama om hvem der mon har gjort det. Hugh Grant og Nicole Kidman er fantastiske og virker begge som skuespillere der bare bliver bedre og bedre. Desværre er afslutningen en smule flad og bliver nærmest en actionserie hvilket ikke klæder den. Undervejs er historien dog rigtig odt fortalt og skuespillerne er en nydelse.

Intrigued by the pairing of Kidman & Grant initially - solid acting & plot but sadly towards the end any seasoned voyeur can see through the end.

This was fantastic really enjoyed watching it, the end was left on a cliff hanger as to who done it which left your mind spinning circles.

Fantastic cart and great tension throughout - it goes fast, overall very enjoyable watch. End is a bit disappointing given the premises, but nonetheless I’d recommend it

Vild med Hugh Grant i en mere dyster rolle. Elsker altid Nicole Kidman. Synes dog morderen var for åbenlys.

The first two episodes were good. But I thought that last 2 were meh! Who else could've done it? Predictable.

80% of the series was great, however the ending for me didn't live up to the rollercoaster that the earlier parts of the show took you on. Performances were great however and it's beautifully shot as is expected with an HBO production. Well worth a watch to make up your own mind on 👍

I love Nicole. I love Hugh. Very intriguing and captivating. It keeps you glued. It kept me on my toes. I loved it. The ending crushed it. It was thrilling and I can't wait for season two. HBO never disappoints. A must watch.

What a dissapointment. You never get the feeling where you are puzzled or flabbergasted what could happen. Kidmann - tries to look like a young girl - and Hugh Grant is not the right one for the main character. The plot is awfull - and boresome. Sutherland is very good - and imposible to feel the tension fra mrs. Bier. I will not recommend it and waste of time.
