This week we wrap up “My Lovely Liar”

Sadly, I don’t know if I’ll get to the end on this one. I got spoiled on Twitter who the killer was and why…and to be honest I was just disappointed. Not that he was the killer - I had him pegged as a likely suspect since the beginning - but the why.

I fully admit that I haven’t hit play on last week’s episodes so maybe it played out better than I imagined - please let me know if it did! - but I just didn’t have it in me to watch our loyal CEO turn out to be a murderer, all because he liked a boy. Oh show…

Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to watch “The Escape of the Seven” yet but if Twitter is any indication it sounds completely BONKERS and I need to get on it ASAP!

Are you watching?
