Now a hit on Netflix, 2017 thriller The Replacement loses it in spectacular style by its final episode.
This review containsThe Replacementfinale spoilers.
Praise be for the three-parter.
Was Ellen supposed to wake up from those sleeping pills?
Did Paula turn herself in to the police?
Forgive me if its all clear to you, but Im genuinely floundering.
Dead Caris being kept alive as a comforting lie?
The faked push down the stairs at a chichi party?
Paula breaking up Ellen and Ian by telling him Lia isnt his baby?
Colour-drained flashbacks to seemingly incriminating dialogue?
Is this a BBC psychological thriller orDays Of Our Lives?
Georgias child has leukaemia, we learn.
And an evil identical twin no doubt…
It probably didnt help the accusations of soapishness that the cast was so uniformly good-looking.
With that absurd MacGuyver ending, it blew it.
Still, those two were great leads.
You have to give it that.
The Replacement is streaming now on Netflix UK.
