Apple TV+’s seven-part adaptation of Laura Dave’s 2021 page-turner improves as it progresses, tossing out solid twists and then hitting us with a satisfying wrap-up.

In the end, there’s nothing offensively wrong with this show: It’s got some solid performances, picturesque sets, and zips briskly through episodes that max out at around 40 minutes each (the dream in the era of Peak TV!) But it’s also probably not what you thought you were going to get either. And while that’s not bad, per se, it’s still pretty disappointing.

It’s one of those shows that has us hovering towards the “meh” end of the review spectrum. There was nothing inherently wrong with the first episode, but nothing really drew us in, either.

In terms of reasonably entertaining intrigue that doesn’t involve guns being waved in everyone’s faces, “The Last Thing He Told Me” gets the job done. And there’s a good chance you’ll have your laundry folded by the end.

There is a lot to be said for competence in this arena. The Last Thing He Told Me might not always understand how to keep its own momentum going—in fact, it often has long stretches of extremely middling excursions. ... The Last Thing He Told Me doesn’t overstay its welcome like similar offerings, boasting only seven episodes, most of which are under 40 minutes. It gets the job done, and it does it effectively.

Garner manages to reveal some fear and confusion behind Hannah’s eyes, and that helps to make her more human. But generally speaking, the people in this miniseries are one-dimensional.

It also doesn’t help that Garner’s performance seems limited to a narrow range of expressions that reach from “confused” to “very confused”. ... The other characters are similarly underwritten and uninteresting, sometimes to an insulting extent.

Pacing too slow, and the main character spends anywhere between 50-75% of every episode on the phone to various people. Garner's performance was meh, very static at times.. single expressions. Couldn't really hold my attention, story took too long to develop, could probably wrap this up in a 2 hour movie rather than a long winded season. There wasn't any depth to anything, characters made stupid and irresponsible decisions disregarding common sense (drum this down to terrible writing in an attempt to advance the pace and wrap it up quickly). It's been a long time since I've seen a series that was utter trash. I'm surprised Apple greenlit this series.. It's absolutely terrible.
