I really liked it riiiiiight up to the end. I mean, it definitely left some things unanswered, but I'm not sure what else they could do with Cuoco's character.

Anyone else watch this?
I think I liked the end enough, but it definitely released some tension without adding much in terms of resolution. The alcoholic dad stuff was kind of belabored in the last episode. But it was fun.

The end was a slight let down but I really enjoyed the Flight Attendant. I'll watch season 2 for sure.

The wife and I finished this up on Saturday. It was offensively bad toward the end. They could have gone in so many more better directions than the obvious. And they certainly didn’t have to turn it into a remake of The Fugitive at the end. It went from a crime drama to a really bad action film.

I thought the same thing.

Is anyone watching Scenes from a Marriage? The intro to each episode is a nice little gimmick. I find myself feeling floored at least once an episode. I admittedly love Oscar Isaac, so I might be biased.
