It was a captivating story that keeps the viewer interested throughout although with some clichée anti-climactic cliffhangers but generally pretty good. The acting is also pretty good for the most part although Kidman's facial surgeries seem to be somewhat detrimental to her acting. Hugh Grant did a good job in a more difficult role than he's used to, and the kid was impressive too. The problem really shows up in the end.
When the explanation finally comes in the last episode it just feels lack-lustre and too simple. All that intrigue only for it to end with the easy way out. I had hoped that it would turn out that Grace's friend was the killer because that could have been both an interesting twist and be explained logically. Sadly it just ignored several episodes of build-up and hints and in the end it wasn't even believable. I highly doubt that a man can not show any hint of psychological trauma, visible for a psychiatrist wife to see, throughout a marriage of 14 years. The ending knocked the rating down from a 7 or 8, down to a 6 at best. I feel like the actors themselves should've complained at the final episode's plot, disappointing..
