Ok, Lifetime thrillers are something of a guilty pleasure of mine.. and I certainly don't watch them expecting high realism, or Oscar caliber acting.. but there comes a point where suspension of belief can cross a line and makes a movie unenjoyable and just a big eye roll.. and trust me, I'm saying this as someone who generally enjoys or at least is entertained and easily engrossed by the cheesy lifetime thrillers.
Spoiler alert following!!!
So my huge beef with this movie is that it tries to build a scary scenario out of a completely impossible premise.. it doesn't matter what the police believe of the mother, SHE CAN FLIPPING FIRE THE NANNY for ANY reason and 100% would have as soon as she was convinced that there was something wrong with her.
Maybe I missed something as I didn't watch every minute but WHY in gods name would she have not fired the nanny if she was so convinced she was bad..
And CPS would not transfer custody to a nanny.. unless maybe the parent, nanny, mutually agreed?
I'm sorry, but those two aspects are just TOO impossible to look beyond
