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.

But she was paralyzed before that, right? He stepped on her arm to make sure she couldn't move. So, if she were paralyzed, it doesn't seem possible she'd be able to move her head at all.

If her neck was crushed enough to paralyze her, how was she able to turn her head to the side a few times? Is that medically possible?

Yes, that scene. What matters more than what they are saying, is the fact that he and Abby aren't married yet. That's in the future. Why would he be having this conversation with an older Abby? Are we supposed to believe that he predicts the future, too? It just made no sense to me whatsoever.

In that flashback scene, after the Russian guy was captured, "Johnny" was sitting alone, and had a "conversation" with his future, older, dead wife. Could someone explain how that made any sense? Did I miss something?

The 10 week thing killed me, too... and so did the "side business" with flasks! As in, cooking meth! OMG.

They have created two incredible works of art. And it's astonishing, beautiful, well-crafted art.

I thought he said it was part of the "fitting in" thing. All the other kids had rifles, so now Harrison has one, too.

Thank you!

Could someone kindly remind me how the show addressed Brady's last name? Is it Brady Brady, or Brady Hobbes?

I like it a lot... but then again, I'd watch anything with those two actors in it. It was just weird enough.

One thing is confusing me (well, there's more than one). How would Freddie know enough details about Katie, such as the tattoo, to convince Dawn that he really had her? And it did not sound like Freddie in those calls, but it could have been. Whoever put Freddie up to it, considering he probably did not have the means to get himself out to that remote location, would have to know about Katie's tattoo. But who would know that, aside from the kidnapper? I must have missed what happened to Katie's father.
