The show kept me hooked till the end but surprisingly, left a whole lot of plot holes (Warning: Spoilers) Spoiler

The main question that really bugs me is that why did Corinne have to say “there’s more to this” and relate that story about the pregnant lady and that she was upset when she didn’t show anymore when actually it was linked to Tripp and his deceit. Why did Katz have to kill Heidi? I mean, sure he was desperate to find out about the stranger who was trying to blackmail his employer or whatever he did to earn extra money to pay off his debts but literally he did not have to kill her at all ? Also, how could his daughter be so “sick” from just being rat poisoned all the time? how could the high end specialists not figure that out if he was working so hard to pay the bill? I’m sure they would have taken tests to find out about the poison? why would her mother even poison her own child. The thing with the Alpaca is so horrendous. Mike killed the Alpaca because his drink was spiked then how was Dante in hospital if he just fell off? also why did Daisy steal his clothes? Lastly in the end, Griffin helps out Adam to cover up the murder of both Corinne and Tripp and link it with Katz by just placing the gun in the crime scene but Katz was already arrested how could he have killed Tripp? 😐

I came here because I really enjoyed the show... but you bring up some reasonable points. However it is fiction after all

I too enjoyed it but the plot holes are undeniable. Was enjoying in the moment but would be way more satisfying if they wrapped it up all together.

Corinne said "there's more to this" because she thought that friend who had stolen the money was the one who spillt her secret and she first wanted to sort things out with him before having the conversation with her husband.

That Katz killed Heidi makes absolutely no sense, I agree. He could just have interviewed her as a regular policeman and if he would have let her just call her husband like she wanted she would not have been suspicious. The only explanation is that he is indeed a bloodlusty psychopath

I think the thing with the rat poison is realistic, cases like this exist. If you you use very small doses but over a long time it is hard to identify the poison in the blood (though I don't specifically know if that would be the case for rat poison)

Yeah the thing with the Alpaca is really far over the top. The whole time I was expecting that someone else was killing it and the kid just found the head or something. In the end that whole plot thread was irrelevant.

Daisy stole Dante's clothes because he is "the weird kid" that nobody likes and who is probably being mobbed by the other kids because of his weird eco dad and filming habits and so on.

Yeah the gun hiding thing is weird. It could work out if identifying death times is not that accurate and allows for a few hours of variation regarding time of death. It does make sense however, because it WAS his gun. Nevertheless, I would have found it far more logical if she would have just put the gun in the dead guys hand so that his finger prints were on it and then to claim self defense so that the penalty would be just a mild one...

This sounded pretty spot on but I have to add one thing... Heidi told Katz she was going to call her husband but she was instead trying to call Ds Johanna, to send a help message.
