This was quite a hidden gem, well scripted, well acted and the twists and turns kept you gripped. It was very inventive and had a touch of the Desperate Housewives about it, where the most heinous crimes seem normalised within a suburban setting.
Very enjoyable and some very promising actors displaying convincing performances.

Very Enjoyable, I Was Gripped
Entertaining
The idea is good so is the acting wish it was a little darker and a little less predictable but well worth a watch
no one compelling
Parents are the worst and they're dying in various accidents. Police detective Cliff Dawkins (Timothy Simons) suspects that high school student Reagan Collins (Colin Ford) is orchestrating the deaths. His investigation gets him into trouble and he recruits cheerleader Mary Alice Walker (Ellie Bamber) to help.
Cliff is too angry and Reagan is too cold. Neither are rooting material. Neither are compelling characters. Quite frankly, win, lose, or draw or anything else would be fine by me. At least, I want Reagan to have fun. He could Christian Slater this psycho killer character. As for Cliff, he's more annoying than anything. He is a great detective on one hand and a complete idiot on the other. The Sam character is a million times worst. The only way to make that guy work is to make it funny. He is not funny. There isn't much comedy that works in this one. It would help if Cliff dials back his arrogant anger a bit. It would also help if the cops are not all idiots. The first story plot issue is revealing Reagan's criminality too early. By holding it off until Cliff starts investigating, there can be some additional tension of whether Reagan is actually guilty or innocent. At the end of the day, neither lead character appeals to me which does not pull me into the story.
