Plot: Hannah must forge a relationship with her 16-year-old stepdaughter, Bailey, to find the truth behind why her husband has mysteriously disappeared.
This last thing he told me series was Very Good.
Pros: Jennifer Garner was really good playing the mum along with her daughter played by Angourie Rice. The full mystery itself does get atmospheric and intense as times. I binged watched the full series and enjoyed the journey of this series.
Cons: There’s some plotlines that should have been developed a lot more. At times I got frustrated with Hannah and the ending didn’t please me that much in my opinion.
