![]() The cast is where The Last Thing He Told Me's greatest strengths are. ![]() We do learn much more about Owen over the course of the series, which brings a lot of likability to the character that is paired perfectly with Coster-Waldau's charisma. Hannah is the loving stepmother who is trying almost a little too hard to win over her stepdaughter, while Bailey is every annoyed moody teen archetype that you can think of. ![]() The characters themselves are thinly written as well. By the time everything wraps up, some may ultimately feel a bit disappointed and underwhelmed, especially as the plot twists veer the story closer and closer into the soap-opera territory. They're not left open-ended or used as a teaser for a potential Season 2, they're just completely abandoned. Certain conflicts will start to arise only to be seemingly forgotten about the further along we get. It's not poorly executed by any means, but it feels almost too straightforward and even a bit generic, as there's nothing here that we haven't seen done far better before. While some page-to-screen adaptations can bring in new emotions to familiar scenes, that really isn't the case with this new series. The Last Thing He Told Me is definitely a faithful adaptation of Dave's novel, almost to a fault. ![]() ![]() RELATED: 'The Last Thing He Told Me' Trailer Has Jennifer Garner Uncovering Terrifying Secrets ![]()
