Unwatchable

This episode is a sick joke. April fools? The teasers for the original short story led one to believe that there would be an ingenious twist at the end. There is no ingenious twist. It is 52 minutes of sickening bullying of a gentle older man by his callous wife and her revolting male friend, an old flame from her past. The tale purports to be about a cold-case murder, but the plot is never explained. It's just scene after scene of mental and physical abuse. I don't know if the short story was good or made sense (I get the feeling that the bullying was invented for the screenplay) but this episode left me wishing I had never started it. .
