The first compliment I give this TV version of the classic "Fatal Attraction" is that it is spectacularly shot. Secondly, although Joshua Jackson is no Michael Douglas, I have always admired his work, and I find Jackson believable and watchable in this role. The other acting kudos goes to the always fascinating Lizzy Caplan who provides her own delicious rendition of a raving lunatic. Besides the cinematography and lead actors, this series spirals down into silliness with the two twists revealed in the last episode, positioning it for an insane season 2. None of the supporting actors are that memorable either, except maybe Amanda Peet, but she is not good here. I also take issue with the off-topic long chatter that starts almost every scene change - very disorienting making you wonder if you are still following the same show. If you like Joshua Jackson and Lizzy Caplan, give it a watch, otherwise you would just feel that this is a big waste of time.
