Anna Leigh was horrible this whole leg of the race, she was whining about being last the ENTIRE time when by now she should know that anything can happen. I didn't love the sisters, but I was really looking forward to Anna Leigh leaving the race.

This episode was such a disappointment to me. I really liked the first three episodes and thought the whole cast, especially young Alice, did a great job. But older Alice? I'm almost in disbelief at how bad the actress is. I have no interest in her as a character, hard to tell if that's due to her now completely cliche story line (the drunk dancing in the room was especially egregious) or the horrible acting. I also don't understand how June was able to prevent emails from going out to Oggi. I mean, she could block him so no emails came in, but she couldn't stop Alice from emailing him. And in all these years Sally never once reached out to Alice on behalf of Charlie? I get she was hurt that a TRAUMATIZED 9 year old turned her back on her, but to never try to connect the two kids in all these years? It's obvious Sally and her husband did not keep Charlie's family a secret from him, so he never once tried to call and speak to his sister? And then there's the Vet who is also... not good. The whole karaoke scene was so bad, singing and acting on a sub par level all around. I'll continue watching, but this show went off a cliff really quickly with poor casting.

I don't really remember much about this story so a lot of it was new to me. I think the whole thing becomes more understandable since Manti was so out of his depth at Notre Dame and was desperate for connections to people that shared his background. He was vulnerable in the sense that he felt so isolated and that opened the door to someone like his catfisher. Manti had more sympathy for Lennay (don't remember their real name) than I would have thought, this person ruined their life for their own selfish reasons. Even faking their death when Manti was moving away from them, and to do it on the same day Manti's grandmother died, unconscionable.

I am clearly an outlier, I was watching and thinking I might get bangs cut again because I thought Eloise looked great:)

I really liked the first season and the covid special episodes, but I'm not loving where they are going with Poppy and I DESPISE Jo and fast forward all her scenes. I feel like both those characters are becoming caricatures.

I enjoy this show, but I'm starting to feel like the story is dragging. At this stage, I'm hoping Annabelle is an actual person and not just a disassociative state Kate was in because that would at least be a surprise. Mallory annoys me only because I find her too clingy, I think she's good for Kate but I would want to punch anyone that woke me up by shoving their face in mine. That might just be a personal preference and residual annoyance from an ex clingy boyfriend!

I think Siobhan's documentary gives us a clue as to why Kevin hated Mare. She tells the story about him having a tourette's outburst in a movie theater and kids turning around and calling him a freak. She then says "Mom was so embarrassed we had to leave early", not Mom was so angry at the kids that we got thrown out, but that she was embarrassed of her son and not only did not defend him, she punished him by leaving the theater. I will obviously continue watching this show because it is 100% in my wheelhouse, but I think Winslet's acting is subpar in this one (it really stood out when she was yelling at her mother for telling Drew he might have to live with his mother) and I don't really like any of the characters on a personal level. It also annoys me how on one hand we're supposed to believe she's a top notch detective, yet she really blew that interview with Frank, even told him who gave her the intel!

I just finished watching, and I didn't LOVE it. Mostly because I found Walt annoying and absolutely hated him and Vic getting together. I don't always mind an age difference, but he was so patronizing, I didn't see any chemistry whatsoever, at least not romantic chemistry. Father/daughter, sheriff/deputy sure, but NOT romantic. In fact, I thought Cady and Nighthorse had more chemistry! I would have liked to see any of the native american characters have a romance, Henry, Mathias, and Nighthorse were all attractive and more appealing than Walt.
