Nasty but good

Soon after their 25th wedding anniversary, Darcy discovers something which leads her to believe that her husband Bob may be a serial killer. But, if she is right, who would believe that she never knew?

This is a fairly accurate retelling of a novella from Stephen King's collection Full Dark, No stars. The four stories in this book were among King's very darkest, and A Good Marriage is probably the least dark.

Joan Allen is a perfect Darcy - appalled, unbelieving, struggling to find a way to deal with the discovery and its ramifications. Anthony Lapaglia is Bob , not the easiest of roles given the conflicting nuances he is required to convey. He too is good in what is essentially a two-hander.
