Nicole's drama must be five-star, suspense all the way to the end. In fact, after seeing the fifth episode, it has been roughly determined that the murderer is Johnathan. The other characters don't have any hints or motives to kill her, and although there's a lot of misdirection on Grace, looking at the character itself can get rid of all distractions. As a psychiatrist, Grace actually doesn't know much about her husband. All she wants is a perfect and harmonious family, just like her parents in her cognition, but her father personally pierced this illusion. In the beginning, she was indeed swaying, always feeling that everything could be explained by human nature, but still unwilling to expose the carefully woven lies. But a few episodes later, when she realized how this man might affect and hurt her son, she finally admitted that this man was a beast. Sociopathic, narcissistic disorder, selfish, when she sees Jonathan's doubts about her son, she finally admits that this man "loves" his son only to maintain his image. When she learned from Jonathan's mother that Jonathan had no guilt or sadness for his sister's death, she finally realized that she had been living a lie about human nature all these years. From the beginning, she knew that he had broken with the family long ago, but she never got to the bottom of why, because he already conformed to the image of a perfect husband, and that was enough. For Grace, marriage is a relationship where you get what you need. She always tells her patients that we always expect our partners to be who we want them to be, but only after we are married realize that this is not the case, and our blindness before marriage allows us to ignore the shortcomings of the soon-to-be partner. So it's not that the person has changed, he's always been that way, it's you that gradually wake up and then you realize that things are getting out of hand.
As for this film, it also discusses and satirizes many social issues: class issues, race issues... Of course, the most important thing is family and marriage. There is almost no details about Jonathan's original family, so about only the mother's phone call Complementing Jonathan's image and behavioral explanations is still somewhat weak. Grace's family of origin is relatively deep: the harmonious marriage created by her parents will become the footsteps of her daughter in the future; there is also a lack of sufficient communication and understanding between relatives, and only on the surface... Grace's soft heart is undoubtedly her mother 's reflection.
The complexity of human nature is also embarrassingly displayed in the film. From the beginning, the image of Jonathan as a good doctor, a good husband, and a good father is created. gradually collapsed. In fact, the audience, like Grace, defended Jonathan unconsciously, but could not find a murderer who could replace him, which became the core attraction of the film. So at the end, there is a kind of helpless and plausible sense of relief - human nature is like this, it is never flat or single, but complex and elusive. In the unanswerable physical world, human nature seems to explain everything, and tells you - never try to penetrate it.
