Catching up with the Family! You are right, it's getting better and better with each episode. I've spoilered myself just reading the IMDB episode descriptions, but that's okay. I can pay more attention to the little details then.

I hadn't even realized that this was Adler. It's been a while since I last watched him. You are right, he is very good. They all are, otherwise I would not watch it. I need to have a connection with the actors and characters, and I did here right from the pilot. I also like the police woman very much. The bickering with that FBI guy is hilarious. Did he say "my husband"? Heh! You expect such things from British TV but not necessarily from American. Which channel is this on, do you know?

I would be absolutely fine if this was only a short series with an ending. Why drag things out endlessly? I am starting to appreciate these short seasons more and more. I recently also watched 11-22-63 done by JJ Abrams after a Stephen King book about a guy who travels to the past and wants to prevent the murder of JFK. It also only had 8 episodes.

Or all the British series like The Night Manager with Tom Hiddleston recently, or Broadchurch. Have you ever watched Broadchurch? If not, you must. The Family reminds me a lot of this actually. There a child gets murdered at the beginning and it is also interesting to see what this does to the people of the village, how everyone has a dark secret, how friends become enemies. Great actors all along. Highly recommended! If you can recommend something to me, I can do it to you LOL

It could also have ended after 8 episodes, they found the murderer in the end, but it got a second series which was equally good, dealing with the trial and shaking things you thought you knew up again.
