Talk about an understatement!

Spoiler:
that crazy old lady was well crazy. Whoever the actress was deserves and award. If way the she spilled the beans was so calm and collected, yet with an evil tinge of joy and pride!



This show is really well done and packs so much content into an hour, let alone four. What I appreciate most is how well everything is laid out, yet nothing is obvious which keeps you engaged throughout.

My one knock with this series is how much they crammed into four episodes - the case, Robin’s divorce, the mother’s death, the father issues, and their relationship. I feel like an extra episode would have been useful to let things open up.

I have no idea if there are more books, but I really hope there’s at least another series or two. The characters and cases are a joy to watch.

Could someone fill me in on one part of the first episode this season (I apologize in advance for not remembering)?

In regards to the snuff film that they watch, it was among Bill Talbot's research, correct?

So was it explained where it came from originally? It obviously was filmed by the elder Ricci or one of his crew, but how did Talbot get it?

I’m not sure that’s addressed. It could be part of the final reveal dialogue, but don’t believe it came up.
