With the first episode of this tv mini series being so serious, suspenseful and dark, the hints came occasionally in episode two and three, but hit hard in episode four:
This tv show developed into a satire and the dark humor that was feelable in episode two (p.e. The volleyball scenes or the scene with Candy and Allan in his car), is now omni-present.
Interesting concept of a true crime event using thriller tropes and suspense at the beginning, but then mixing more dark humor elements into it, making this tv show a genre mix of drama, true crime thriller and satire.
The investigation is quite erratic, showing that the story is not about the investigation and how the murderer got cought, because the audience already knows it by episode one. As seen from episodes two, the backstories of the characters lessen the thrill, but depict sexually and emotionally frustrated characters in a commonly accepted puritan southern community with typical marriage, house, kids, pets, the men are working, the wives are housewives.
Pat is showing some interesting traits as a carrying husband while Candy is seen as the prime suspect in the murder case. The investigation led by Justin Timberlake seem too rushed and is not that important and not the subject in this episode.
Not that thrilling and suspenseful as expected, developing into lighter entertainment and dark satire.
