Jessica and Martin are just parents of the year, they would like to write a book "How to drive your own child crazy", contrary to the mother's statements that she protects her children, it seems to me she does not realize at all that in fact she is more to blame for the fact that her son did not get better. If she had only talked openly with her son (and daughter), so many problems could have been avoided, but according to the law of the genre, this is too simple and banal...
so we have what we have, I wonder what will happen to my daughter (but personally, I would never, even for the sake of a career, go down the rabbit hole, she saw how her father influenced her mother and brother)

@nemmi: well, as a child, they would not have been able to talk normally, and by the time the children could already realize what exactly she wanted to say, the psyche that she had, that her son was broken..

@nemmi: But journalists are finished people. So it's strange that she didn't come to him earlier.

@nemmi: it's always easy to bring up other people's children, especially fictional ones)
But for some reason no one can bring up their own perfectly)

at some point I felt sorry for Jessica, it's not easy to be the wife of a maniac, but she noticed a lot, but pushed these thoughts away, probably just didn't believe it until the end.
It was possible to talk about everything with her son, but apparently she just decided not to stir up her memory, hoping that everything would gradually settle down (although it was careless)
As I understand it, the daughter was quite a baby and does not remember her father, and of course she wants to know him, the forbidden fruit is always sweet. Let's see how their "acquaintance" ends

It was a powerful moment when Malcolm watched the recording of his mother's testimony.
Anyway, it seems to me that everything is not so simple here, there must be something else hidden in his childhood.
But they did not pull the plot, episode 4, and the whole family is 'assembled')

While I continue to watch the series more because of the expectation of where the relationship between Martin and Malcolm will result, and what is wrong with the mom in the end. Despite the recording, I still don't trust her. If it were that simple, neither she nor Martin would have tried so hard to hide it all from their son.
The murder itself in this series was weak, and it proceeded sluggishly somehow.

How I like this series, it's just incredible, there are as many as necessary: family relationships, crimes, and problems of the main character. Well, somehow the creators found the golden mean. I cried with Malcolm when he watched his mother's interrogation. Well, this smile clearly does not bode well.

the mother and the folder agreed at the meeting to completely confuse the son and finally drive him crazy, if only their common secrets would not come out)))
the video from the interrogation did not convince me that she was innocent... rather, on the contrary, that it was a thoughtful performance

Unfortunately, it did not go. Low-grade. It doesn't catch, for some reason.

@svetylove: Yes, because the series consists of 80% pathos, 15% close-ups and 5% plot. Too superficial.

The moment when you watch the video from the interrogation and you don't know: this mom is such a bad actress, or the actress plays so badly %))

How do I get a super-secret tape that is not shown to anyone?? Follow a familiar policeman and whine until he gives up xddd

The screenwriters still seem to have never seen living people talking. Thick and boring. How to show that a stalker dude is the last loser? He has a cat, there is no one to look after her, how else. The protagonist projects his problems and personal drama on everyone who is not lazy?? No, this is a subtle psychological analysis.

I continue to watch only for the sake of three minutes of the Tire maniac on the series %))

P.S.: “ If I had a relationship with my father the serial killer, I would simply not be manipulated and traumatized. rip to Mom and Malcolm but I'm different" -Ainsley Whitly” someone on tumblr XD

Years do not take either mother or father, 20 years have passed, but as if one day. And the same red dress after 20 years is still in the closet. unbelievable.

actresses playing mom and sister without a twist. the main character is sugary. Dad is a maniac who is the only one in the whole series who catches. I'm looking because I wonder where the girl in the drawer has gone. Vanguay that this shit will not be extended for the 2nd season.

@Simferia: Once again I notice that people find fault just to find fault.

I have a warm sweatshirt at home, which is already 11 years old. In the first 5 years, I wore it outside in the cool almost every day. Then she became a homebody for the next 6 years. And since then, her print has only slightly deteriorated, well, the fabric has stretched a little in the area of the sleeves, since at home I often lift them up when washing dishes or when it just gets hot. But in everything else, she still looks like new, and this is taking into account the fact that usually home clothes always wear out quickly.
And now look at this dress and think: girls rarely wear the same dress every day, and even more so a dress. After all, that's why it's ceremonial, that such a dress is worn at most once every couple of months.
So yes, if the thing is really of high quality, then it may well last 20 years with the right attitude.

Not to mention the fact that some things just stay hanging in the wardrobe, and they are simply not worn.

The promo turned out to be much more interesting than the whole series.
Just a couple of good moments.
The investigation, too, was interesting only at the beginning.

Is there finally a murderer who is not related to the father of the main character? It immediately became more interesting. And I don't believe Jessica, or rather, she could have known anyway. But the daughter herself became like a maniac when she came to visit

I didn't believe Jessica's words for a second during the interrogation. Mom is clearly an actress, and a bad one. But it's even worse to look at how she manipulates her son, and in general not a family, but an Agony!

That's how I thought that my sister would not resist and come, I wouldn't be surprised if daddy manipulates her as he wants, and maybe even she won't have to be manipulated, a maniac can grow out of her, it's mom and brother who have immunity, but she doesn't, they were too patronized

So bad that it's even good)) Everyone is amicably overplaying, Michael Sheen is trying to crush his forehead and portray a crazy look that is about to split, the actress playing the mother dramatically sings words through her teeth, the younger sister looks like from films about American teenagers, well, the traumatized Bruce Wayne with his loft, where a home theater and a window are a dream-girls-a teenager, in general, is lovely. I am not ironically worried about the bird, as if some villain in the next series did not release it or did not twist his neck))
