Let's dig into the many resolutions and cliffhangers in the season finale of The One. Plus: a surprise twist illuminates Rebecca's true nature.
The finale provided a few much-needed answers, while opening up the door to a world of fresh questions. To be honest, I somehow did not really care about the actual murder itself? I was too busy wondering ( spoiler) why Hannah went and imploded her whole life like that, or if Kate would wind up dating both Sophia and her brother, Sebastian. Some characters' subplots-like Hannah and Mark, whose marriage is threatened when Hannah finds Mark's one true match-are more gripping than others. If you enjoyed Netflix's last mind-bending thriller, Behind Her Eyes, The One might satisfy a similar craving. The show teeters from corporate thriller to slow-building psychological drama, to murder mystery and crime procedural, and back again. Flashbacks punctuate each episode, revealing the dark origins of The One, and how an old friend of Rebecca's ended up dead as she resolved to change the world (and make a lot of money), no matter what it took. The eight-part series, set in London in the near-future, explores the overlapping lives of people affected by this DNA matchmaking.
