2.0

I’ll start by saying that the concept, setting, mystery… all that was great. However, it did not flow together well. Details were all over the place, inconsistent, and filled with an overabundance of clichés. What bothered me most was how unrealistic the circumstances were. I’ll buy that Lacey made a last minute decision to hop a plane to England, but she settled as a resident with a private business and a dog impossibly fast. Nonetheless, the potential is there, it just fell flat for me.
