    Better than most made for TV movies

    No big star names in this TV movie, however, it kept my interest right to the end unlike some. The cast were good, especially Miss D'Abo in the lead. Worth watching.

    Actually quite good

    For a lifetime movie it was quite good. The lead actress has a bright future ahead of her. It's crazy how some of these films get zero distribution from lifetime. There's something wrong with their business model. This a good TV movie. Netflix should license it on the cheap turn it into a hit. Just like You.

    High Rating From Me !

    You know what ? , usually I find myself picking faults with these types of movies, but, not this one !

    I thought it was great, a clever plot, well written , well directed and well acted.

    From the very beginning I was intrigued, and it did not disappoint throughout. It was original and different .

    Also I think the cast deserve a mention , the acting here was good and convincing , not like so many wooden performances we see all too often !

    Do watch it ! You will not be disappointed !!!

      Charlie had the hardback edition of "Murder in the First Person", telling Kara it was a good book, indicating she had not only read it but liked it. As such she would have seen the author's photo inside the dust cover and recognized Kara.
    • Quotes

      Kara: God, I came out here to improve my writing. How... how am I supposed to do that when all my professor wants to do is hit on me?

      Charlie: Hit on you?

      Kara: Yeah. Yeah, he said he wanted to mentor me but all he wants to do is sleep with me.

      Charlie: Wait a second, back up. So he just hit on you, that's what just happened.?

      Kara: Yes.

      Charlie: That's terrible. Is he cute?
