With the end of the season upon us, lots of shows are being canned or renewed. ABC has put the nail in the coffin for “Resurrection,” so we will never get answers to that one.

“Castle,” “Nashville,” “Once Upon A Time,” “Secrets and Lies” and everything Shonda Rhimes does is coming back.

If you were fan of “Forever,” it’s gone forever sadly.

I’m really glad about “Nashville,” we knew “Once” was coming back, and am surprised about “Secrets and Lies.” I don’t know where they will take it. Will Abby kill again?

This summer I’m looking forward to the return of “Mistresses” and plan to give “The Whisperers” a shot, though ABC horror shows never seem to go over well. They are great, but always last one season. Speaking of horror, I’m looking forward to “Under The Dome” returning as well.

So there are only three episodes of “Secrets and Lies” left, which includes tonight’s show. The commercials and promos, and even the press release for the final show, claims it is the season finale, not the series finale. This started making me and others worry that ABC might pull an AMC’s “The Killing” and not reveal the killer and drag it out another season. Between that, and some of the filler shows, I grew tired and headed to the internet. What I, and many others, learned was this show is based off a 6 episode Australian show that like NBC’s “The Slap,” was available on Netflix. So I skimmed it to find out the killer. I won’t give that away here, but if you really want to know it will be at the very bottom of this post, below the official releases for the last three shows. Fair warning, it may very well ruin the end of the US show! I was starting to think they were going in another direction, but after the latest episode it’s all falling into place to be the exact same killer.

Even though I spoiled myself, I’m still tuning in for these last few episodes. I want to ride it out in case they have changed the killer. Plus I do enjoy the show, and I really want to see Cornell get what is coming to her. There was no satisfaction there in the Australian version.

I like the show enough that I would tune into a second season, if ABC plans one, I just don’t know how it would work. The official releases below do say the killer will be revealed in the finale episode though. The next season could, theoretically, be about what happens to the them, the trial, and I’m sure they could reveal more twists along the way. The final release gives a hint as to where they may go, which annoys me if it plays out that way.

Anyways, below are the releases/spoilers for the final three episodes. Below that is the Australian reveal, should you be oh so curious.

I don’t know if anyone is watching ABC’s “Secrets and Lies,” but I am and sometimes I don’t know why I am. Like “The Slap” on NBC it pretty much drives me nuts. Ben has to be the dumbest guy on earth and constantly does things that work against him. Hey look my flashlight is back in my car, covered with blood, so let me pick it up and touch it! Uh oh, I gotta hide it, let me wrap it and stick it in my living room. Found a new lead on who may have done it, let’s wait awhile before suggesting it to the cops. Hey let’s publicly attack people in this day of social media oversharing. Over and over he does stupid things.

So who did kill Tom? From the very first episode I honestly thought it was the youngest daughter. Something just doesn’t seem right with her. She seems very socially awkward. When all she wanted to do was decorate the tree when the shiznit was going down, I just knew her brain wasn’t functioning correctly. I think she may be a sociopath, and there have been little things here and there that show she seems to flirt with danger, or doesn’t react like a normal person would.

Others feel it was Ben’s wife, while some think Tom’s aunt who was having an affair with his “Father.” Then there is the clear red herring, the special needs kid on the block, though the boys mother Melissa Gilbert does seem to be hiding something. My worst fears are that after sitting through this entire thing that 1) it will turn out to be like “The Killing” and we won’t know who did it by the end of the seasons and they’ll pull off a second season or 2) that Ben really did do it for some reason, and he doesn’t remember as they’ve been hinting.

Are you watching? What are your thoughts?

Spoilers for the next two episodes below.
