3.5⭐
While the murder mystery was unique and the past timeline has a fun vibe with the bachelor-like scenario, if you like that, I still couldn‘t get past one issue: there was never a fitting reason WHY they made a synthetic person in the first place. Especially one that seems human and even has free will. Sometimes, just because you can do something doesn‘t mean you should. I think this thinking may have clouded my attitude towards this story.

Told between past and present, we follow Julia, a Synth (synthetic woman), who was designed to compete on The Proposal to win Josh‘s heart. Fifteen months later, Julia and Josh are married with a baby when Josh goes missing and Julia races against time to find out the truth as the local sheriff hone in on her as the main suspect.

I did feel the ending and ultimate reveals were a little rushed, but overall an amazing sci-fi mystery.
