I watched it last weekend. I thought it was very good and the tension of always being on the brink of finding out that Judy killed Ted kept me very interested. Also the rise and fall of everyone’s feelings towards Ted as the story went along.

After the last scene I was sure there’d be a Season 2. The neighbor had just told Jen earlier about the legality of defending yourself with a gun or something. Jen had all those cameras and Steve was coming at her, so it’s definitely plausible that she could be exonerated.

I think Nick may have had something to do with his partner’s death.

Also, I don’t like James Marsden (Steve) as an actor. Don’t like him in \*Westworld \*and he’s no better here. Perhaps he’s TOO good looking? Anyway, I won’t miss him.

What an odd question.

(a) That’s down to personal taste, obviously  
(b) Not sure anyone is putting _Dead to Me_ up in the pantheon of greatest shows ever, which doesn’t mean it’s not good  
(c) If you’re looking for the absolute creme-de-la-creme of scripted TV, I’d suggest you give _The Wire_ a try. Or _Breaking Bad_.

It did feel a bit unfinished at the end which makes you think a season 2 is warranted. However the story does feel completed. They kind of needed a final wrap-up episode.
