Review of Fatal Attraction

I wanted to like this show. I enjoyed the first few episodes. But when it got to the "crime" aspect, it was just plain BAD. The way Dan behaves is totally contrary to the way his character was developed and for no reason (he's supposed to be a skilled trial lawyer but IMMEDIATELY starts lying for example). And the courtroom stuff is just laughably bad. The detective didn't Mirandize Dan, yet testified that Dan lied to him. The dad testifies to all sorts of stuff Alex told him but none of that is admissible, it's pure hearsay being offered for its truth. The dad pulling out his phone. FFS. That's a Batson violation. The judge denying Dan's new trial motion because he lied to the detective and is generally a lying liar. (Even if you think that as a judge, you never say it out loud. It's an immediate reversal. Yes ... I'm a judge.). It's just cringey as all get out. So if you have more than a toddler's knowledge of the law or understand logic in general, save yourself the aggravation.

Also the last episode. OMG. So bad. So so bad. (Hadn't watched the last one when I rated it ... docking it 2 stars that that idiocy.)
