Hello, not sure if there's a post suggesting this already! I just binged watch the series in the title. When I look for an explanation of the ending, it feels like the answer is the kid was the killer and the ending is goofy. But, I feel like Kristen Bell, Anna, is actually the killer. When she goes out of her house (twice while drinking wine and taking pills) she runs towards the neighbor house and pass out in the rain ( to reflect that her subconscious take over and she starts killing and setting up the kill scene in her advantage as well she can... So the second time when she wakes up from the rain and gets into the house, see the girl killer giving silly reasons to murder and the quick fictional happy ending with the neighbor making lamps in the attic was probably a continuation of her dream. The only part of reality we saw I think is the dad and Buell death. The fight with the kid was possibly a depiction of the fight of Anna with Buell and the dad (gun shot, punches, etc).
The airplaine scene probably show that her imaginary story is taking an end after going this far, she was reminiscent of a happy life since she knew she couldn't get away from this murder case. It's time for her after a year to take a rest from the story, to wake up. She imagine the woman from seat A-2, which could be a real police agent on the crime scene coming to wake her up or a relative we might hear from in season 2 (if there's one). If it's the end of the series, she could be a nice character to come answer the riddle. Anna wakes up, she see the woman from seat A-2 dead, but she realizes it is not true. She find her belonging, the mirror and looks into it, goes bingo. It can directly that her reflect in the mirror answer who's the killer, herself. Or, she sees something in the mirror that represent reality, maybe the background of what's around her in the room where she killer the dad, Buell and possibly the daughter too.
Or maybe the daughter is really the killer and she killed her dad because he had bad puppet theatre performance ! Like I said, I don't know if someone proposed this ending explanation haha
At first, I thought the killer was the rex guy, since he slept with Anna. I thought he did so to be able to leave in the morning and put the crime scene weapon on the grass, (which could be why the police officer said something like how couldn't we find this the previous day?) But, that'd be a twist that probably wouldn't last a full season, Idunno!
Any other ideas on what the mirror and A-2 seat lady meant at the end of the movie? Cheers!
Everything you said, plus the bit at the end where Anna is in the hospital and the cop lady, her husband/therapist and Carol come in one at a tme, but they share the same lines
“I brought you these” “how are you feeling?” “Like I’ve been hit by a Mack truck driven by a 9 year old” “Anna, i owe you an apology”
Three times in a row, with the only difference being Carol, who takes a bit to get the Mack truck joke.
This bit was perfect.

It was satire? I found quite a few bits in it really funny. But I didn’t stay up all night watching it lol. Enjoyed it for what it is.

I could see it was trying to be but fell short, it wasn’t consistent. The only part I exhaled air out of my nose was when she refused the wine and asked for vodka. So the whole ending is supposed to not make sense? Haha. God knows

You didn't think the teacher being yeeted off the lighthouse in the background of a news interview was hilarious?

It’s clearly satire. I loved it, but I have a soft spot for cheesy thrillers so this was made for me.

Fuck the fuchsia! It's Friday!
It's a satire. The title is clearly satirical.

It isn't a movie. It is a show and the title is satire because the show makes fun of the genre.

It was an ok watch, like I said the last episode was like - really 🙄. So your prediction was right. I wasn’t expecting a horror nor a thriller but the ending really threw me off. I can’t imagine it to be anything mind bending but I can’t see the big ‘ah-ha!’ Moment. I guess that’s why I’m here asking because there must be something more to it right?… lol
