To borrow from the 'Computer says NO' sketch on "Little Britain", it is apt that the lead character's computer has the message "LIAR" during one of the many attempts at a tension-filled scene in this thin miniseries. The effort to lay the foundation for future plot twists, all based on lies that are told by all the characters, is so transparent that they soon give away all the twists before they are revealed.
That is, everyone but Alice is shown to be lying, and she is the only innocent victim in the entire series. These spoilers only ruin the first part of the first episode, as you, too, will figure everything out in short order, including the fact that no one but Alice is truly a protagonist in this 90 minutes of lies.
Max lied about cheating on his wife, resulting in her suicide. Lenny and Karen lied about the final eviction notice, then Lenny lied about having negotiated a solution to the eviction. Rex, Biba and Karen lied that it was he, not Biba, who killed Max and Lenny, Karen lies (by omission) to Rex, and later to Alice, saying that Alice is "their" baby. Rex and Karen lie to Alice (a lie that Karen refuses to allow Rex to put straight) about what the charges were that sent him to prison.
All these lies, and It takes nothing to then deduce that Biba is not really dead, and therefore must be the mysterious person threatening Karen throughout the miniseries.
Three people already dead, so why not have Karen the serial-liar, already as unsympathetic as the other liars, murder Biba and reap the rewards of everyone's lying and killing?
