Very interesting & tense TV show. Actors and actresses have done terrific job. Especially daughters. They played spoiled, snobby, rich annoying rude teens very well. I couldn't stand them during whole TV show. I don't even know who I hated more, Ronnie or Terra. They were horrible teens. The way they talked & walked irritated me so much that actually I was cheering up for John to kill them, lol. Even their voice was so annoying... Anyway, great TV show. All actors and actresses did fantastic job, including guy who played John and actress who played Debra. If you like movies like "Stepfather", you will like this TV show. Highly recommended.

Edit: Second season is quite different. It's not bad, but definitely it lacks the tension. It's not as interesting as first season. It's more about wife and husband marriage/divorce and trial process which overall seems boring, but it's not that bad. While I would give first season 10/10, I would give second season 6/10.
