This was a nice little show (emphasis on little because it's super short) and I enjoyed it. Nothing groundbreaking or mind blowing but definitely interesting and engaging. The last two episodes are especially great and really make the show as the first two were quite dull and boring.
My main gripe with the show was the acting of the protagonist. Scholey had some scenes, especially with the last episodes that really made an impact; however during the first two episodes her acting was... dull. One thing that threw me off was how when she finds out about her husbands infidelity (and it was really bad since he had videos and was in contact with a lot of other women) Scholey kinda just acts blank. A bit later she lies to her husband and acts all normal but she just doesn't seem shaken up at all over this discovery. Or at least not shaken up enough. She even just goes on with her life and then confronts him later on. This just felt so off especially for the character established so far. There's other little instances where she acts a bit blankly in response to her crumbling life.
Also I found the police officer woman exceedingly dull and just wanted to throw that in.
Even with the flip flopping acting quality, and the dragging pacing during the first episodes, this show has a lot to offer and is a good watch, especially considering how short it is.
The build up in the intensity of the situation, along with watching the downfall of Beth's life is a spectacle. Slowly watching everyone piece together the mystery is also interesting. The final twist and ending is particularly great.
I love the final twist because during the show I found that "oh we know who the killer is so this is kinda boring" but the twist really flips your preconceived notions on their head. The ending as-well is honestly perfect for what it aims to achieve. The ending shot itself is great. I also love the character of Adam and found he really stole the show every time he was on screen. Another thing I enjoyed was the commentary on gossiping, spreading rumours and hating on people just on what you've heard. Always a nice theme to explore since it's very prevalent in real life
All in all, I had a couple problems, notably with the first two episodes which are a little bit of a slog to get through, but the ending and build up are fantastic and I highly recommend you give this a shot.
