Anyone seen any of this? Started it over the weekend and I'm hooked. Really well written female characters and hilarious performances from Reese Witherspoon.

This shit was freaking awesome.
Look, i know this show comes off as chick-TV but it is decidedly not. I think the only people who wouldn't like this are guys who just can't admit to any female being a good actor (or comedian, etc).
But honestly, this was an excellent show featuring an amazing director (Jean-Marc Vallee), and no less than FOUR outstanding female actors (Renee Witherspoon, Laura Dern, Zoe Kravitz (really, she's good!), and the phenomenal crazy-undereappreciated Nicole Kidman), and a career-best performance from Alexander Skarsgard. And yes Shailene Woodley is in it and she is nice to look at.
Really, watch this. It's just 7 episodes and every one is better than the last.

It feels a little like HBO's take on The Affair to me but it's written much better and doesn't seem to have as much silly plotting going on. Looking forward to seeing who got murdered. I'm 4 eps down now

Excellent. While you may see the victim coming, you won't see the perpetrator. Seriously the last two episodes are the best thing I have watched on television in years.

Finished this last week. Totally right about not guessing who killed the person, and I only guessed who might die in the finale. Great series. There's talks of a second series, really hope this doesn't happen. It's a limited series for a reason guys, lets not do what Wayward Pines did and shit on its first season brilliance.

Good point. Sometimes things are better left alone. The episodes of this series will clean up at award shows and people can talk about them again, but really there doesn't need to be more. I don't want this turning into Desperate Housewives.

By the way - How uncomfortable was that sequence where all the girls fight back against the worst husband in the world was to watch? The silence of it all made it so chilling ?

2 More episodes left for me, the tension is getting unreal. I think I may have an idea of whats going on and who is going to die.

The twins are the ones bullying Annabelle, not ziggy. (my wifes prediction)
Jane sees and hears Perry for the first time at the party and kills him so Perry is the one who dies.
Although that seems to easy, but it is my best guess. Im very excited to see what actaully happens.

Me and my wife were right about 1 of the 3 that you've mentioned, definitely didn't guess the 'killer'. Hope you enjoy either way.

Finished this last night! So I guess I was right all along that Perry would be the one who dies. The show tried to lead you down other paths to make you think it was not him though which was pretty cool.
The last episode was soooo intense and nerve wrecking. I am honestly kind of glad this show is over though, I am not sure I could take any more of it.
