Was she about to kill herself in the attic?

No? Why would you think that?
She was just eventually coming to terms with her son's suicide and moving on. She hadn't been up there since it happened, think this was her way of closure, going to where it happened.
I don't think so.Was she about to kill herself in the attic?

I feel like it's almost impossible to have watched all the scenes with the therapist, watch Mare patch up her relationship with her best friend, see her get up from sleeping with the kid where they are both so content, listen to the end music for that final scene and assume she's about to kill herself.
I wish they would have just chucked in a loud thump and swinging sounds now, would have been the most what the feck moment of all time.
There must have been hints because people figured it out well before the final episode.I’ve just finished this and found it a bit of a letdown. Kate Winslet was fantastic in it, the show had some good emotional beats in it, but the writing was shoddy as hell. Twists thrown in for cliffhangers, people acting in ways that nobody would ever act and a killer thrown in at the last minute when no hint was ever given at it. Lots of fairly pointless melodrama and a shocking waste of Guy Pearce.
Well he did get upset at school that time. Just so many really stupid things. Like a grown man buying a girl a necklace engraved with the date they banged that led her to the dad to begin with.There must have been hints because people figured it out well before the final episode.
Was definitely a few too many twists and strange actions though
I very much disagree on the second point there. It was perfect.Just finished it. My wife and I liked it a lot. It reminds me of the first season of Broadchurch, which I also enjoyed. This was a little better, though!
My only critique is there was a little too much going on in terms of suspects and stupid decisions. I would have left out a few detours and added a little more quiet time just to allow the story to "breathe". For instance:
Frank(Mare's ex-husband) did not need to be a suspect. Also, him lying about having no contact with Erin made very little sense and felt completely out of character, as he was probably the most level-headed guy in town. I get that the story needed more conflict between him and Mare, but they could have found a different way.
I also think Zabel's death was a little hollow.

Having just finished it I would agree with this. Winslet gave an amazing performance, and the show was overall enjoyable, but I didn’t think the show was that great overall, though it did have its moments.I’ve just finished this and found it a bit of a letdown.

I felt it was predictable.Was expecting more to be honest. Not a patch on sharp objects
i reply didn’t buy the ending.a kid, after finding out his dad is cheating once again, just doesn’t go get a gun and attempt to scare the girl off in the middle of the night. He would be pissed at the dad. Plus how'd he get access to his dads phone anyway? Passwords aren’t a thing now? It really beggared belief. Guy Pearce was a waste of time and so was the partner really.
