A black widow gets caught in her own web
Woodyanders27 February 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Cunning and dangerous seductress Lillian Posey (well played to the sultry hilt by Daphne Zuniga) gains possession of the dead man's gun after her latest husband dies. Lillian subsequently meets and marries the rich and handsome Sanford Hogan (an excellent performance by Paul Johansson), who turns out to be every bit as deadly and devious as she is.

Director David Winning keeps the engrossing story moving along at a constant pace as well as maintains a playfully twisted tone throughout. Zuniga has a ball with her juicy and enticing femme fatale character. This episode further benefits from a wickedly amusing sense of dark humor and a doozy of a double twist ending. A devilishly satisfying show.

Another good episode

I am really satisfied with this TV show I did not know two weeks ago. You have new characters each episode, with different fates each. That makes it more interesting, because you don't know in advance if those leads will make it or not at the end. And many of them are very ambivalent characters; I mean you don't really know if they are good or bad, and I love this. Some of them are actually evil. Wha....Exquisite.

I won't repeat the topic of this one. Already explained in the plot line. But the ending is so good...

It reminds me THE MECHANIC - two versions - films' endings.

I am in the hurry to watch other of those episodes. I guess I'll discover many more gems, with no bad vs evil schemes and, above all, no predictable endings.
