Sorry, Mr. Big on Sex and the City. He treated Carrie horribly and ended up marrying someone else, then sleeping with her in his wife's bed....yet people still rooted for that relationship and have always held it up as one of true love....it is funny how many bad relationships in book, movie and tv lore are the ones that people actually want to see....not funny really, but sad and scary. The number of clips of Fitz and Olivia screaming at her and the things he would say....and yet again ....true love....so why not Angie and Will?

One of many reasons I quit the show, but am glad to know the end is worth watching.. for the PLOT of course, not Chuku

Grant County was a good series. Good writers can write what they want to make people get behind anything and there is no accounting for what people warm to. Look at how many people thought cheating with Carrie in his wife's bed was acceptable for a charter and that was a "good" relationship, or the relationship on Scandal..... either of those were what I would call toxic relationships, but viewers saw true love...🙄 Wish I had a link to her admitting that...that whole character was totally mishandled in the books. It is the frustrated writer in me, Angie had great potential and was wasted in what she turned her in to. And it is not that I like Angie, it is just that I don't like the Sara character in Will's orbit. She was ok in Grant county

I didn't say it was a good marriage, just that they were married. There is no information on if everything was horrible the entire time, if they had a few months or years of happiness. They were separated and in a toxic relationship. It is inferred that it had always been bad, but not really explicitly stated. Even in the books before Sara he was still sleeping with Angie of and on. Not sure where I said they were not separated, just that in the books they were married.

Well, they are married in the book, so if we are following the book by bringing in Sara, then they should follow the book with Angie and Will marrying. I personally am hoping for a non sara series.

I always knew the Lenny story would have long term consequences and when Crystal reappeared it was clear. I am on the fence about whether Amanda should have consequences...and I know that is wrong. She did the wrong thing for the right reason, but it was still wrong. Crystal, on the other hand was killing people,and in fact had already killed at least one known person. I could care less about Ormewood and his family drama. I am "not connecting" to Faith's boyfriend. I was looking forward to seeing her play the field for a bit after denying herself romance due to having a child as a teen. I also find the actor to be very wooden.

I haven't seen Alex in a while, she looks different than the last time I saw her, but it was a while ago. Glad she still has a show. I really hate they have celebrity chef's competing when so many regular chefs could use the money,

So many thoughts the first of which is we are getting Sara and I will have to leave the show😪😒

I don't like the new😄 guy which means he will probably be a regular

Probably going to kill Angie off to make way for Sara😒

I believe that was also a choice to highlight that investigations of these missing people of color are frequently incomplete and and not thorough. I am interested to see where they are going with the uncle I am still not interested in ormewood and wish he had died in the explosion instead of Cricket....is that too harsh??? The story with Angie and the girl is beyond boring, but I suspect that situation is what will lead to a permanent breakup with Will when he finds out all the ins and outs.

As messed up as she was, Angie was a bada in the first book and was the one on to Ormewood. Will was introduced through Angie, and then instead of having her be a side character ( I could easily have bought her as a PI former Police Officer who showed up in some of Will's stories) the author decided to turn her into a mustache twirling villain instead of showing how she was coping with her horrible childhood. I actually don't mind that they changed her because Slaughter doesn't seem to know how to write for any other female character than Sara.....the rest of them are all messed in some way, or very "hard boiled," ony Sara is allowed to be soft and feminine and be "protected." Not only that, she chose to bring Sara from the other series, which I cannot forgive. They are no longer "will trent" stories, as in many of them it is Sara doing the police work and Will following her lead. Before the merger, Will's character was a lot more interesting... especially with how he was dealing with his disability....then we got this high school romance and the constant " I am not good enough" from Will l in the background of what should have been focused more on the actual crimes/mysteries. We even get one story built around Sara's past, and one about a friend, when we really haven't gotten a real sense of Will's past, although " A Will Trent" novel is on the covers. The show has covered more of Will's past than the books ever have. Everything about his life has to involve Sara, they even have Faith being best friends with Sara so even she considers Sara's feelings about thing, even about her partner Will if they have any type of friction. There is no separation between work and home. The addition of Sara also made the author stop trying to develop the other characters. Faith, Amanda, even Faith's mom are all way more interesting but have gotten no attention. To further this, she had to go back and mess with characters and back stories from Grant County to more sell the idea of Will and Sara. The truth is, she never should have ended that series and merged with this one. Therefore, I sincerely hope the idea of two different production companies are true and we can stave off a Sara appearance or avoid it all together. I see these as two different universes that don't need to collide. I honestly think in hindsight either she or whomever optioned it realized this. If and when Sara shows up in the series, I believe she will be different than the books. Cricket should have been extended for more than one episode. Yes, when I found out the series was coming I said there was no way they could let Amanda and Angie speak about Will the way they do in the books, and could never understand why it was included in the first place. I am little sensitive as someone who worked with people with disabilities, one reason I had to stop watching the Good Doctor. They write Amanda's more as if she thinks talking to him like that will toughen him up or keep him in his place because she realizes he is so smart. I know, but I am previewing the new book for a review and it starts out again with Will saying he has no idea what she sees in him.....after so many books, I am tired of that.

Yeah, but which one took all the blame? You can argue they still needed a show, but they all should have had consequences. Cliff too went on with his career but is defined by the incident way more than the others. I am also sure production had something to do with encouraging them for "good tv."

Wasn't she strangled or injured somewhere on her neck? I thought that was the origin of the scarves.

In many ways the show is what the books should have been.
