It's a good start, albeit without any enthusiastic effect. Javier Bardem, as always, is great as a villain, and the scenes with him are the most interesting. I also liked the unusual camera work and color correction.

Of the cons, there is a lack of the fear and tension stated in the title so far, at times everything looks too boring and drawn out. I hope that the series will gain momentum in the future.

Bardem looked a lot like Travolta from some old movie in some scenes)
Overall, it's a very good start. Well, the series by name is quite like a movie for cinemas)

Due to the fact that he pretended to be a girl, I hardly believe that it is necessary to find out too personal information, and also to play that game. He was still in prison at the time, I think.

@Paramelion: I saw Travolta in that episode, and I already think he looks like Dave Baptiste in this one)

@an_khv: In the ward scene, so in general Jason Mamoa cosplayed)

@Paramelion: While in prison, he forced his mistress to blow her brains out. So, it's not a problem for him to introduce himself as a girl.

@Paramelion: Have you watched "The Orange is the season hit"? ( Or another TV series on this topic ) Anything is possible in prison!

@lady_kana: Well, to be fair, Orange is more of a settlement) It's certainly not as strict as in prison. But I think you can do anything in prison with the "right" connections.

Tom runs out into the backyard so calmly, as if he didn't have a cougar walking in the same courtyard just last night)

Javier Bardem as a villain is always a great choice.

It is clear that the creators were inspired by Hitchcock: tension is created not by action, but by its expectation. Bravo to the cameraman and sound engineer, goosebumps are guaranteed.

@Serialkiller_402: Yes, you won't see such a style anywhere now. It still feels strange here, to be honest. Maybe you need to get used to it

The series is interesting when the frame is dirty, and the whole family often yawns.

God, is family life really that boring?

All the time I was waiting for a cart from Javier) the role of the villain suits him)

So he killed several people in prison and was released from prison? Acquitted in one case, OK, but they should have been convicted of those murders. Well, there's a story with my son, the dude bit off his finger and everything was just as if nothing had happened. But the picture is beautiful, the music is super, the camera work is top, the Bardem is gorgeous

@JardimFramboesa: I didn't get it either. moreover, he did not kill by accident, as if in self-defense, but rather cruelly and finishing off. they release a guy with a similar story inside, because his chick writes a suicide note, but they don't bother to check the calls on her mobile...
besides, in the first case 17 years ago, she wasn't even considered guilty? she has motivation, but there was no weapon in the case. if they considered it, it means they rejected it. but now, for some reason, when she got drunk, they abruptly believed in her guilt, because you can't plant a weapon, but admit guilt, being innocent.

max Cady is right that the system is rotten)

I haven't read the book, but I think the lawyers framed Max Kedi. Javier Bardem looks intimidating, but his character seems to be a good person.

It is possible that Max's child has survived, the lawyer and the prosecutor have figured out something to hide from prosecution, and it is not for nothing that they are discussing some secret from the past and hoping. that Max didn't find out. It would be a cool twist if their daughter was this child, and the lawyer, having given birth during the final of the trial, thus hid baby from the maniac's father, and the press was told about his dead wife and allegedly unborn son.

Tom the prosecutor is obviously hiding something. Otherwise, why is he so obsessively trying to hush up the story with his son? He doesn't let her figure it out and immediately rounds off his wife's thoughts.
