"I read the book years ago and thought it was great. I kept wondering why nobody ever made a movie or series out of it and Chris evans finally did. Overall I thought it was good. I just thought maybe the series dragged things out more, maybe they didn’t need so many episodes. Not sure I liked the change of ending. Can only think they did that so they could add On to this story, which sequels are usually weaker. But I do love the whole premise of the book."

"Why do American movie lawyers struggle so much with ethics and making character judgements? A story of mixed loyalty. Will vigilantism win out yet again?"

"Struggled between 4 and 5 stars. Ended up with 5 because of the ending and while it leaves you in suspense, not knowing answers, the feeling and non stop doubt that the father is left with is pure hell to live with. But then who killed Ben? "

"I wasn’t prepared for the ending AT ALL. I was hooked! The show was kinda slow-paced, but it’s no big deal. I heard that they changed the ending in the show, so I read the book ending and… I liked the book ending more. Lots of questions are still roaming in my mind… I need a second season."

"Is it just me…or is this a reboot (or inspired by) of the 90’s film ‘Before and After’? I just watched that one for the first time and was shocked by the similarities. "

"Slow burn to a wild finale. Good show you don’t need to give your full attention to. Thought the book kept you more engaged throughout #twists "
