However, it looked amazing and delightfully showcased Adina Porter and Alexis Louders superb acting.
But there are a lot of confusing detours to get us there.
Spending this much time on Lillians characterization is a deviation from the book.

New York City is not merely a backdrop location forThe Changeling; its a character all on its own.
A layered character at that, transforming from a monster to an ally or enemy at any given moment.
Sadly, this was a dream that was never realized.
Her journey in the city was far from a fairy tale.
She said it felt like a threat.
Lillian also notes that she was never fully in love with Brian.
Lillian vehemently denies the accusation and wonders why it even matters since theyre divorced.
Lillian walks in on the disturbing moment, promptly hits Brian with a baseball bat, and kills him.
Finally, in that little room of the Elk, we find out what was in the red suitcase.
The show implies that Lillian used it to dump Brians body in the river.
Maybe Apollos father isnt who we thought he was.
The woman offering Lillian a donut outside the Elk wore that same dress.
Its telling that the monster Brian that Apollo remembers in his dream is blue-hued.
The smoke, or should I say steam, coming from the bathroom also makes more sense.
