100% it’s the Blonde friend


Am i the only one who thinks it’s obvious? Why else is she still involved? She is the “other affair”. She got jealous. Her kid is also probably Hugh Grant’s. I’d be shocked if it’s not her.

Well, she turned out to be a lynchpin in narrative resolution, allowing the DA to submarine Grace's testimony on purpose, which is why her character kept appearing when all the other Grace friends disappeared after the third episode.

I was with you, though, that I figured Sylvia was the possible killer, the scorned lover.

But this whole series turned out to be a disappointment, at least as entertainment, since Hugh Grant was guilty all along, worse because he never was believably redeemed as not-guilty or being framed. It would have been much more interesting to have Sylvia be the killer.

After all that misdirection...the most obvious person is the actual killer. What a letdown.

Do you mean torpedo? ;-)

I kept thinking if it isnt the blonde, then they wasted alot of airtime on her.

I thought that too for a bit ... but we were wrong.
But we should not feel bad because the whole series was just trying to manipulate the viewers and throw them off with fake in the moment evidence.

Mostly a red herring. The show itself does what the defense attorney said she was going to do: muddy the waters so it's impossible to tell what's really going on.

Was she actually sharing a bed with her daughter in the last episode? Talk about a helicopter parent!
