The final episode was truly awful. What made the season so good – all that suspense and intrigue, along with occasional bursts of action – evaporated into a ridiculously nonsensical ending. It's baffling; the police were already at their home after learning Max Cady had escaped... but they just searched the place and then left?

The performances outside the lead roles are shockingly poor, with some truly dreadful accents. It's hard to imagine anyone wanting to commit to watching all ten episodes. Similar to what happened with *The Burbs*, this appears to be another attempt to revive a well-regarded film for contemporary viewers, but it falls completely flat.
