Top Cast
It’s the third episode--in which Webster romances prospective victim Simone Banerjee (Archie Panjabi)--where the series really sinks in its claws. The villainy that seemed so one-note in the first part of the mini suddenly becomes intriguingly shaded and complicated.
The sociopath’s escalating series of offenses almost seems reasonable at first--he just wants to be left alone. Directed by Paul Whittington), The Widower has a surprising undercurrent of humor, but it’s not enough to keep the unexceptional story interesting across three hours.
