Hidden Bodies was sick, both in a good and bad way. Caroline, damn! You created something so believable I got scared. Haha! Character-wise, Joe had a funny and loud mind that I liked a lot. He was savage, and I loved it! He was also so problematic that it made me sad because of his shitty childhood. Joseph Goldberg was a waving red flag that attracted another red flag named Love. The irony! The murders were unforgivable for apparent reasons. I was not too fond of the fact that he thought people's lives were in his hands. (When he decided not to kill certain characters, as if they needed to thank him for not killing them) It was disturbing and disgusting. But overall, the story was compelling and fast-paced. 😎
