[6.6] Which lies to explore further?!
cjonesas14 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Basically turning in circles with drops of the storyline plots and micro plots in our eyes and mouths each week for the sake of suspense, thrill and drama.

Isabella again shows her depth and good acting in this episode with (mini) nuanced facial expressions that Megan isn't even aware of. Megan, by her behavior and deeds, reminds me of a "beaver" that has lost half of "her" front teeth, not really knowing what to do with "her" life while waiting for them to grow back full size. Seriously, spilling beer on French fries?! Is that the best she can do? And does that show what besides immaturity and dark imbecility?!

One exception though, I liked her expensive professional lawyer more than Isabella's who was staring with a mouth gap the size of a chest after the sheriff threw the 5k tagged pack on the table with most of it spent.

The writing needs to get tighter with less filler, dragging and candy bonfires and more flashbacks to the winter of 1999 that has a nice colorless dark vibe to it and where most really interesting "conversations" and interactions between Megan and Isabella happen.
