Finale is so bad
Like awful...the dialogue was so corny and everything felt completely forced.
There was so much cheese I drank an entire bottle of wine watching it!
What seemed so contrived wasn't that Amanda lashed out at Kate because of the effects of the hormones, accidentally killing her. Any woman who ever had really bad PMS knows it's possible. No, what pushed the envelope was for an attorney -- and not just any lawyer, but a PUBLIC DEFENDER, a lawyer with a social conscience -- to instantly stage a coverup afterwards, and maintain that lie as well as any sociopathic killer, even to the faces of her own family, each of whom she turned into suspects. I'm no saint, and I'm an intelligent person, but if I were in that situation my first response would be to call for help and tell the truth.
shareNot just stage a cover-up, but a bad cover-up. If she knew they could test a garment to determine if it had ever been worn/tried on, why wouldn't she just wear the darn thing before turning it over? And with all the pictures taken at the party, she should've known that they would know that she turned in the wrong one. And since she wasn't wearing it at the time of the incident, why not turn it over? Made no sense.
All insults will be interpreted as an admission that you cannot contribute to the discussion.
I know, right? There used to be rules mystery writers followed, at least in novels, like no surprise clues in the solution that hadn't been mentioned somewhere in the body of the story. I guess all those rules have been tossed away along with basic logic. Like why would a woman so obsessed with getting pregnant that she continues taking fertility meds even after being told there's no hope because she's in early menopause (not exactly true, btw) still be smoking?
I was very disappointed. That comment by the friend that at least Kate was real after Eric lists the failures of his family? It reminded me of how on House Hunters the realtor will answer the complaints of over-budget and no kitchen, bathroom, walls or floors with "but look at that view"!

I actually read your comment before watching this season finale, so i was waiting for that scene. Yeah, Kate may have been a nice person, but she definitely had her secrets and lies, too. The family from the old man down were effed up.
Amanda was still taking the prescription hormones, as well as the pregnancy hormones, so she wasn't thinking straight. I guess she didn't think they would check past her dress, and onto the shift jacket for touch DNA. When all those hormones are flowing, you really can go a little, or a lot, crazy. I know that I did, but I didn't kill anyone. I feel bad for the baby. If Amanda would have told the cops right away, she would have found out that she was pregnant, and they would have been lenient on her (which they probably will be anyway, if she refills with a temporary insanity plea). The family, especially Eric would have not been ok with it, but then again, they did live through a horrible childhood. I feel bad for all parties involved, with the exception of the father (John). I can't imagine being the 1st wife and having to go through all of this, while going through end stage cancer.
sharebut if I were in that situation my first response would be to call for help and tell the truth.In fact just telling a more plausible lie would have done it as well. Something about fooling around on the roof. Why this elaborate scheme, which would only lead to more investigation? Especially since of all people involved, she should have been most interested in keeping the people's noses out of her affairs - her private live as well as her "professional" endeavours, and also what she knew about her husband. share
