Just finished watching episode 4 and I am really looking forward to finishing this series. The relationship between Brendon and Natalie and their historic animosity adds a layer of partiality to their respective perspectives when it comes to who committed the murders, obscuring the audiences perception of who could be the correct suspect. Every suspect from the children, the maid and the neighbors all have questionable aspects to their character which the show has portrayed very well, keeping things suspenseful. Daniel's role is a challenging one to execute in the sense that the character has to manage the loss of his parents, protecting his sister, apprehensively accepting his absent auntie help whilst handling the predicament he has gotten himself into with gang members. Daniel manages to execute this role very well. The relationship between Daniel and Jamie is very odd in nature. I still cant put my finger on what is happening there or whether they are complicit in the murders however, the show successfully makes the audience apprehensive of all the characters in the show. What I have enjoyed most about this show so far is that rather than the quest for the truth, the script prompts to audience to be concerned with how people react to the bits of information they come across. It demonstrate the complexity of human relationships and the path that leads to certain decisions in the lives of couples, families and individuals that can never be fully understood by an external audience filled with prejudices and snap judgments.
Great story line, great acting, looking forward to finishing the series as soon as possible!
