His Fatal Fixation (2020 TV Movie)
Big flaws

Warning: Spoilers
So I like Sarah Fisher, even when playing villain. I could have liked this lifetime thriller if it wasn't for a few really annoying things.

The first one being Danny the landlord who not once but twice just let himself into Lily's apartment without even so much as knocking on the door. I don't know how the tenant/landlord system is in a crazy called the United States, but just because you send an email it does not mean you can just barge in willy nilly into your rented property and scare the crap out of your tenant. Since it was clear on both occasions that a) the tenant was unaware of the emails, and b) the landlord should confirm his appointment since he did not get a reply on both occasions. And c) what is wrong with using a cellphone to make the appointment? Just because you are a landlord it does not give you the right to walk in with your key any time you want. I don't care what country it is. Furthermore, if the rent is paid in orderly regular way then the landlord has no excuse to be so pathetically intrusive. And in this case get annoyed with the tenant for not checking her email. Incidentally Danny the landlord character is not in the cast list on IMDb strangely enough. This one of the stupidest parts of the movie.

Moving on. So Lily is the victim of a vicious stalker and is in therapy and using prescribed happy pills blah blah blah. She changes her name and goes to a clinic famed for their miracle plastic surgery techniques to remove the scar left on her cheek by her stalker. She states that she took out a loan for the procedure. I am wondering something, can unemployed people in the crazy place also known as the United States get loans? If so I'm packing my bags and coming over!

Anyway, so right from the get go she sets her eyes on Dr. Michael, and even though after cyber stalking him and seeing that he is married, it does not stop her from continuing to flirt with him. And when during Joyce's memorial get together at the bar she comes face to face with Claire (the wife) and the wife sarcastically hints at Michael being a womanizer, she doesn't care. And finally one evening at Michael's office Michael poor his heart out to Lily and they do the business.

Lily expects the relationship to continue, but slimeball slithering Michael suddenly finds his affections for his wife after her terrible car crash, and ghosts Lily. It is worthy of mentioning that Claire was also unfaithful a long time ago but she had stopped.

Anyway I didn't really want to go on about the plot who was good in the movie who wasn't or anything like that. I just wanted to say those were the main faults of the movie which otherwise could have been a much better psychological tv thriller.
