Nice to see it getting good reviews.

Ok so far this has been 10/10,the pacing is great, and everyone is cooking on this show, particularly Peter Sarsgaard. I honestly don't care if they keep the same film ending it's that good.

Still enjoying this, but find myself wondering why have the family not kicked Jake's character out of the house already and sent him to live in motel, even if he ends up being innocent the way he treats them is borderline abusive.

After episode 7 and my main takeaway is that everyone on this show seems to be a piece of $#### including Carolyn for how she treats her son

Yes I thought that too, and it's only driven home even more by the finale.

I think this might end up being a bit of a sleeper hit lost on Apple TV. It has its flaws but Camp, Saarsgard, and Gyllenhaal have really cultivated some fascinating characters. If they can tighten up the narrative in Season 2 it could be something special.

I never really considered Molto or any other of the main characters coming back for S2, it just seemed like they would do a completely new story for S2, or even consider adapting Scott Turow's follow up to Presumed Innocent (Burden of Proof)
