Obsession for me turn out to be a very entertaining mini series, I’m really not into drama stories, the internet as in other type of reviews has a very harsh opinion on this series basically because it drift from other stories like Damage and Fatal Attraction, the irony the TV Series Fatal Attraction just came out a few days ago, three first episodes drop and guess what, the reviews are not so good neither but for anyone who think you can make an opinion out of other peoples review online I have to say it wont work, anything with an online score of five is worth giving a shot because for you it could turn into a seven plus, there is people who score Obsession with a 1 that’s just ridiculous, this story has very good amount of suspense moments, some other are very predictable but for example on this episode when Peggy start talking about Anna mom I really make me want to see her on the series and I was prepare for things to go wrong, nothing spectacular happen but how about Jay remind her of his son and caught William craving Anna that scene was great, plus the production of the series is good quality, short story take online reviews just as a low score opinion and then watch the series and make an opinion out of your experience, I’m one chapter away from finish Obsession and so far I cant complain and I think I’m glad is only four chapters, its like watching a very long movie.
We are getting closer to the end of this short interesting story, it gets more intense as now someone knows about Anna and William, he is getting text messages from an anonymous source who says she/he knows everything he is doing yet both Anna and William still have the nerves of steel to sit down at the same table with William’s family for an engagement dinner, the first suspect who is sending the text messages has to be Peggy unless William has open his mouth at work or somewhere else.
I think I would not be capable to even sit down at that table and yet they still sneak to the bathroom to fool around, Anna is crystal clear on her rules like she have done worst than this in the past but William has no clue of what is an affair and how to have one successfully, Anna even know how to play with encrypted messages telling William if she touch her hair at the table means she is thinking of how the going to fuck next time they see in private but Williams intermediately ask when, so needy.
William tells Anna about the messages and she acts like she have been there before, she also think its Peggy who is tormenting William and decides to confront her.
Anna goes to Peggy after dinner, Jay is with her on the car and waited downstairs since Anna told him she didn’t want to meet Peggy tonight, for sure Peggy and Anna were or are lovers, Anna has a harem of people on her sex life, turns out Peggy confess its not her and some one else knows about them, got to say that makes things great, more suspense, more intense and few candidates come to mind like Williams wife for example, she even mention to him once that she wouldn’t see him having an affair so why not her.
Peggy latter calls Anna and said “you have done so fucked up things in the past” what does that mean? how fucked up? even paint a scene that Anna will need Peggy when her mom meet Jay at the engagement party. That really make me want to meet Anna’s mom.
The moment comes and Anna’s mother said Jay looks like Aston, Anna’s brother, she ones told William about how Aston was in love with her and latter on kills himself after she puts him down, Anna’s mother sounded dilutional and very unstable, I thought she would be the over protective powerful woman or someone who rejects her daughter for all the crazy and bad things she have done but it was totally different.
During the party Anna talk to a few people trying to find out who is sending William all those text but no luck, then the speech time comes up, one of the text William got that night said that he got until the speech was over or she will tell the truth that added way more suspense to the situation and then the MOTHER of suspense comes to stage, Ingrid during her speech mention she has been spying on William, right there I’m sure many thought she was the one sending the texts but NO again fool everyone, she ended talking about some pictures of William and her and how much they still love each other bla bla bla love speech …Jay and Anna be happy, sometimes there are moments with a lot of expectations that last for very short time and then fall real quick during the series, I think some people may not like that, I still do. During the speech William got extremely tense to the point he broke his champagne gas and cut his hand, Anna’s mom catch him looking at Anna and then told her she hopes William is nothing to her, so her mom knows there might be something between them.
Anna and Sally, Jay’s sister, go out shopping for Sally’s dress and she confess she was the one sending the messages because she found the page William stole from Anna’s diary, some how Anna pulls this ninja move and confess its her hand writing, that she feels ashamed because she forgot her diary at Hartley and William found it and hold it for her, she was afraid he would read it but not only that, now Sally read a page out of her personal thoughts, off course Sally felt sorry for her, still think his dad did something wrong but indirectly shuts down the affair possibility. Anna is a menace.
William and Anna keeps seen each other, she again remind him of the rules now that she got back the page he stole from her diary but that wouldn’t end their affair. Jay is having his bachelor party with some friends and William shows up, after a few drinks he decides to go not before having a talk to Jay about marriage, women, how difficult it is but then ends with “learn to love the questions” after Jay said he doesn’t know what he mean with all this random conversation about Anna been a challenge for Jay. William said it on purpose to tip him off, he doesn’t want to share Anna with Jay and she told him once, it doesn’t end with just him, William.
Jay decides to follow William because only Anna have said that phrase to him before, the obvious is that he will caught William with Anna and I’m sure what ever happens next wont be a surprise but might be explosive.
I don’t know others but I have really enjoy Obsession so far, yes has a lot of cliche and things that are predictable but there is more to it, parts of the story that adds more spice to the moment, production is great, actors are fine, they develop the character they were given, this is no video game AAA+ story with a huge fan base, this is a drama story that could not be so much different than any other cheating story we have seen before, there are elements good to the story but nothing that is ground braking. Its good to watch to fill in when there is nothing else interesting to watch.
