Last night's finale was an off-putting way of ending an unlikable series.

The whole concept was stupid imo and you're going to build a series around it??

It was going to be a whole series? What? I thought it was only a limited run miniseries.

Ed.

It was a turnoff.

I had read that it was already an Australian miniseries version of it with Melissa George being the only actress in both versions and the promo images I'd seen made me want to check it out to see how they can expand on a one trick premise.

But what a waste the finale was, I was expecting a huge drama but felt cheated and I felt the same way the judge did after telling them to get out of her courtroom.

Do you remember the show The Slap (https://forums.primetimer.com/forum/1401-the-slap-v/)? I only had a vague memory of seeing commercials for it back in high school, but I never watched it. UNTIL NOW. I laughed. I cried. I cried again. But it feels like nobody else had the same reaction as I did. Let's talk about it.

Just gonna list the cast down here for SEO purposes, don't mind me. Zachary Quinto, Peter Sarsgaard, Uma Thurman, Brian Cox, Penn Badgley, Thandiwe Newton, Melissa George, Thomas Sadoski, Makenzie Leigh. Okay, goodbye!

Lack of viewers slapped this show into oblivion.
