In Mare of Easttown, the reveal of the killer is a shock, but it fits perfectly with the overall theme of the show. In The Buckingham Murders, though, the twist feels forced, like it's just there for shock value. I think the film suffers from its short runtime, it really needed to be a series to give each character the time they deserve. I didn't connect with anyone, and honestly, the killer could have been anyone, and it wouldn’t have made a difference. Big props to Kareena for doing her best despite the weak script, honestly, she did it better than Kate Winslet here, because Winslet didn’t have to deal with a script like this.
