User Reviews

Another Well-Written, Captivating Episode!

I really enjoyed this episode. The storytelling of this TV series is very nice and everything is so interesting. I love Mapleton and the characters, their past and their issues, everything.

This episode deals with a cruel crime scene and we have some serious moral dilemmas here.

I really like Kevin as a character, he has a good heart and is yet a badass. His final scene in this episode really got me. This actor does a brilliant job.

The scenes with the GR are nice and the diner scene is haunting and kinda weird - but so well-acted!

I love this TV series, I love the actors, the story, the setting, the atmosphere... It's great!
