A Daughter's Deceit (2021 TV Movie)
It's not good, but I finished it.

Wow to save her own life, Suzanne (who's all about women's empowerment btw) tosses another lady lawyer under the bus. Cat/Cassie is murderous and she basically sends her after another person...how you ask? Well in spite of Cassie being shot and landing in the pool after going over the balcony like Goldie Hawn in Death Becomes Her, she lives on to get her revenge.

Lifetime thinks we are stupid. Lol, how is she shot but no blood in the water? There are wet footprints indicating she got away (nobody heard swishing pool water?), but no sign of blood. The the police chase her over a cliff (yes two dramatic near deaths in one night!) and yet assure the family that she's really most sincerely dead, and can't harm them anymore, even though they AGAIN have no body. Lol, this movie is so absurd and not even in the fun Lifetime way.

This movie is a mess. Bad acting (mostly by Suzanne who makes strange acting choices) and implausible/ridiculous events. No one ever questions why things just start happening when Cassie shows up. No one questions why everyone in the neighborhood knows a family moved out, and yet their "housekeeper" still hung around.

Also A Daughter's Deceit is not a title I'd say matches the movie.
