I am wondering how Bishop was even allowed to have a gun (let alone two) on him in a courtroom? You have to go through a metal detector in California courts, and only officers on duty are allowed to have a firearm on them. At least that's how I understand it. https://justdocprep.com/prohibited-items-california-courts/

That's the million dollar question. Why bother going through the charade once David let him into the house?

Thank you! I'll take your advice.

It's been two years since season one. When so much time passes, it's easy to forget what was going on, and I really don't want to rewatch the whole first season. Is it easy enough to catch up from this first episode?

I remember him the most from Priscilla, which I've seen more recently than the others. That doesn't mean I "hate" science fiction and fantasy genres.

I almost didn't recognize Hugo Weaving... but I don't think I've seen him in anything since Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

It was an obvious misdirection, since they never showed the intruder's face. He just ran upstairs to the "loo" and started to run a bath. Which is a pretty weird thing for an intruder to do. But Grandad looked at the photo of himself and River, and realized it wasn't River, and grabbed his gun. But also, it's possible River had this plan in place all along because of what he told Louisa... so everyone would easily believe that Grandad simply mistook River for an intruder. That's all I got.

I agree. No one thought River was dead. I was only curious about who it was, and how River got that passport at the end. I will rewatch tonight, to see if I missed anything.

Yeah, I'm done. I didn't love the acting, or writing, and the story wasn't that engaging, either. I just didn't care enough, beyond wondering what actually happened to Masa, who was my favorite character. There just wasn't enough of him. Mixxy's reveal at the end was no surprise, at all. I did enjoy the setting in Japan... that was interesting, but I'm happy to be moving on. Tonight... Slow Horses is back. :)

I'll watch the finale... but if this gets renewed, I won't be back.

Forgive two stupid questions (non book reader), but I must have missed how Louis, Armand and Lestat have seemingly unlimited financial resources. Also... Lestat can stay buried for a century, and live off his "ancient blood" for sustenance, yet Louis was already starving to death after a relatively short while? I must have missed this vampire-verse explanation.

Did anyone else get Godfather/Fredo Corleone vibes in the opening scene with Freddy and Jimmy on the lake? "I'm smart!" - FREDO

I was baffled by that. What were those? I tried to google it, but didn't find anything.

Well, for me, this was a one season and done. Too absurd.

Ditto! Agree about the character... but I do love Eve Best, so I'm always happy to see her. I became a fan because of Nurse Jackie.

Calvin getting hit by a bus was foreshadowed. It gave me Six Feet Under vibes. I then thought to myself, "I bet there will be a ghost Calvin." And, sure enough. Not that I have a problem with it. The fake out with Mad and the other girl felt manipulative... but then we see who her father is, and realize that's how the TV show comes about.

That record is a classic.

Did anyone else watch the series, The Tourist? Set in Australia? They used a similar plot... burying a guy in the desert in an oil drum, with a pipe for air. I can't remember if a scorpion was involved, though. I'd have to rewatch. Good series! Season two is supposedly coming.

I used to work for someone whose wife was part of that family. I got a huge gift basket of Rao's products every year for Christmas. I am Italian, and thought it was strange they pronounced it RAY-os, too. But they did.

OMG... I just now realized where I've seen her before. She gave an outstanding performance as Tawney Talbot in Rectify (it aired on the Sundance channel). And if anyone hasn't watched that incredible series yet, I highly recommend putting it on your list.

Me, too! But just today, I learned how to get rid of that with YouTubeTV (where, when you hit pause, the screen dims, and most of the screen is obscured with the progress bar, and title of the show). Just hit the back button, and it goes away. Ahhhhh!!!!!!!

I'm right there with you.

Thank you so much for that. I guess I wasn't alone. The article says: "There’s a happy ending, of sorts: Those unfortunate souls who were left hanging — and fuming on social media — can mosey on over to Hulu and watch the entire uninterrupted episode. Also good news (for Fox at least): Accused drew in 8.4 million viewers — a record for the network for a debut. Hopefully most of those people liked the episode enough to want to see how it ended." They assume everyone subscribes to Hulu. I don't.

Thank you so much for filling me in. By cutting to commercial (many of them, in fact) right in the middle of that crucial conversation between Devin and Scott, the story made no sense. There was no way I would have pieced that together. How annoying.

What happened to Devin? It abruptly cut to commercial when Devin was in the classroom talking with Scott... then when it got back to the show, Scott was in court, and was free to go. Then his wife said he'd wished he had killed him. I missed the first five minutes of the show. Do we see Devin's fate then? I'm super-confused.
