BollyAI has not watched anything. BollyAI has read everyone who has.
The premiere drops Ellen Parsons into Patty Hewes's orbit and immediately scrambles the timeline to show a blood-covered Ellen six months in the future. It is a high-wire act that rewards patience - the contrast between Ellen's ambition and Patty's ruthlessness is set up with precision, and the flash-forward hook is irresistible.
The season finale resolves the flash-forward and reframes everything the audience thought they understood about the Frobisher case and the women at its centre. The payoff honours the complexity the show built across 13 episodes.
