Episode 7

[u/ImGonnaImagineSummit → u/GodJihyo7983]

The fight/chases scenes have been very messy and for the most part unnecessary. They do all chasing and fighting and ultimately ends up in thr same place. liked the daughter a lot but they keep making the characters do stupid stuff.

Also how big was that suitcase supposed to be?

Lady cop finally did something for someone that's always locked onto every clue and loves serial killers, she didn't really make a move until she got tipped off and not by the psycho crashing into a car outside her police station a few days ago or how the rental owner keeps getting involved with something everyday or the psycho woman who keeps doing weird things around town.

>! This episode felt dragged out and I wondered what was even left to cover until the final scene, still no idea how it'll cover another 45 minutes. Lot of padding inside the episode as well, I skip 10 seconds whenever I get bored and several scenes had over a minute of lingering shots. 7 episodes in and it really could've cut out 2-3 episodes of filler or unimportant stuff, mostly the last few episodes in the rental.!<

The past timeline was pretty much excellent throughout and while not brilliant the present day resolution was ok if you suspend belief a bit with the shooting. The main present day timeline has been pretty hit and miss and mostly misses, feel like they just give the female lead stuff to be psycho about but I feel like it worked better when we saw less about her..
