The plot of Wilderness is twisted in a way that makes you wonder if it's just all a novel in processl, or if we have an unreliable narrator, or if there are very deep and dark secrets in the pasts of the two main characters. That's what kept me engaged. I expected some sort of surprise ending. It was not to be.
The ending is open for some interpretation but I'm not sure the director intended that. It feels more like they just wrapped it up in too much of a hurry. The last episode is full of holes and a lot of leaping to conclusion. The husband makes a guess that is wild speculation based on what he actually knows. There is an audio recording that consumes a bunch of air time but never pays off. The main character gives a weird soliloquy at the end which also doesn't pay off. The biggest problem is the potential novel which the main character writes and which will put her in prison were it to be published, even as a work of fiction. There was plenty of potential for a great ending, but it didn't happen.
It's too bad because I was really drawn in until that final episode.
