How I Met Your Murderer (2021 TV Movie)
Not very enthralling
5 May 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I agree with the other reviewer. I've got 20 minutes left and I just want it to be over. This movie takes quite a bit of time to get to the point. By the time it does, I don't care anymore. The acting by the lead is not that great. I'm watching her "fearfully" tell another character that someone she knows is a killer and it's not very convincing. This entire situation plays right into her podcast, and by her demeanor, I barely buy that she was afraid for her life. The villain has flimsy motivations here, and it seems like XXXXX was obsessed with the wrong person.

Finally at the end....just as I suspected...of course she made a podcast...a real twist would have been that she set the whole thing up for ratings and shown herself to be a demented nut who'd do anything for fame. That would fit the way she behaves after being within an inch of her life (eye roll). She's basically relishing and capitalizing on it all and seems proud of it. Very strange and tacky when you consider people died and her marriage broke down. There's another Lifetime movie in the last maybe three years or so that did exactly that where everything was staged and honestly...didn't see it coming. Much better movie.

UGH, the ending...this had better not be a cliffhanger. Let's see a baby by the husband she's going through in vitro and emotional stress with MULTIPLE times or a baby by a serial killer? Only on Lifetime! Ugh.

P. S. This might be the only Lifetime movie I've seen lately where the bff does not end up hurt or dead. So maybe a star for that.
