Hannah thus shifts into what amounts to detective mode with the help of her friend (Aisha Tyler) and a well-connected ex (Geoff Stults), piecing together the elaborate trail of breadcrumbs.ĭave worked on adapting the book with Josh Singer (an Oscar winner for “Spotlight”), with Garner and Reese Witherspoon’s company the other producers. Hannah can’t wrap her mind around why Owen would go on the run, and her interactions with law enforcement suggest there might be something more than corporate shenanigans at work, but rather a deeper mystery buried within his past. “Protect her” is all that he says in a cryptic note, “her” referring to his 16-year-old daughter Bailey ( “Mare of Easttown’s” Angourie Rice), who until then has tended to treat Hannah like the proverbial wicked stepmother. Garner stars as Hannah, whose picture-perfect marriage to Owen (“Game of Thrones’” Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) is suddenly undone by a doozy of a secret, as her hubby suddenly chooses to disappear when his company comes under investigation. The main selling point here is Jennifer Garner as the wife who, “Dateline”-like, discovers her husband is not what he seems, in an efficient adaptation of Laura Dave’s novel that doesn’t rise much above that description.
Add “The Last Thing He Told Me” to the list of what once would have been Lifetime movies expanded (or simply stretched) to become limited series.
