Better than I expected, but a few questions - SPOILERS

- After Todd is sent to prison, one of the guards demonizes him, calling him baby killer, sending him into a general population shower room, where the inmates viciously beat him unconscious. The guard also issues his own beatings, describing what Todd will feel while being executed by lethal injection. His hatred of Todd seems to be total. Yet as time goes by, he becomes friendly with Todd. He is even shown being mournful at Todd's execution. And there is no explanation or telling of how this change happened. WTF?

- It was clear soon after the fire that Todd's wife thought he'd murdered her babies. She hated him totally, screaming at him in the car, wanted nothing to do with him. Yet at his trial, she vehemently defended him, even after the judge told her to step down. She kept yelling at everyone that Todd could never do a thing like that, to deliberately burn his own children to death. Then she did another 180 as his execution date drew near. She went to visit him in prison for the first time and started another screaming match with him. Finally, during the credits, it was stated that she'd always blamed Todd for the death of her children. How was all that supposed to be reconciled by anyone watching this movie?

- In the prison interviews between Todd and Laura Dern's character, prison tattoos are show on Todd's arm. How did he get those, when it's made clear that death row inmates have no interaction with the general population, who all seem to universally hate him?

On balance, though, I still found the story to be gripping and couldn't turn it off, even missing Colberts' show when it came on. I give it an score of 8/10
