Robin Wright plays the loving mother, whose son (Laurie Davidson) brings home the titular character (Olicia Cooke). Being the caring parent, she finds something suspicions about her. Both women work surreptitiously to undermine the other, which escalates with each episode. Wright heads the cast with her classy underplayed style, Cooke is sufficiently furtive and Davidson’s affable charm is the ideal fulcrum. In many ways this is the typical stranger in the house genre that’s popular lately (my recent review of Malice). There are twists, but nothing especially shocking. As these types go, it’s moderately entertaining.
