Review of Deception

Deception (I) (2013)
10/10
Solid TV show, too bad it was cancelled
12 April 2015
Warning: Spoilers
This was a solid show, it should not have been cancelled. The story is so tightly plotted and every Chekhov's gun gets fired before the end of the series. The ensemble is stellar and everybody clearly gives it their all. The chemistry between the lead actress and the two sides of the love triangle is exemplar but I, for one, was partial to 'Jolian' and was delighted when it sailed. Regarding the mystery, I was delighted with the onion way each layer of mystery was peeled and resolved - the drug test cover up ... that wasn't a cover up... that led to Audrienne... that ended up being a complete red herring because the motive for Vivian's death had nothing to do with the drug tests at all! One aspect of the story I really liked was the relationship that ended up forming between Eddie and Will. It was so organic - the series starts with Will determined to pin the murder on Eddie... and it ends with Will (and the audience I believe) coming to appreciate the good man in Eddie and letting him off for the murder of that girl. What a pity this show was cancelled.
