The first 5 episodes of this series I wasn't enjoying it as much as I thought I would but, the final episode totally turned me around and I really enjoyed it. Was looking forward to seeing this series mainly because of the cast, Mom, Nicole Kidman, looking as beautiful as ever led a stellar cast. Dad, Liev Schreiber, was fantastic in the role of Nicole's husband. The remaining cast were superb. Eve Hewson, fiancé "Amelia" and oldest son "Thomas", Jack Reynor, " are particular standouts. Michael Beach as police chief is a talented actor deserving of a better role.
The location made me want to book a trip to the Nantucket. It's the perfect location for this series.
Thought I'd figured out who the killer was early on but, I was so wrong. Episode 6 unveiled all the family secrets and the killer.
The theme song by Meghan Trainor, "Criminals" opens each episode and also features a catchy opening dance sequence.
I rate it 7.5.
