Widows’ Web showcased outstanding characters and gripping portrayals. The only people that needs redemption here are the writers. They are like the justice system that lets people get away from their crimes. #WWTheRealKiller pic.twitter.com/aNWB7Az2qY

Please please no to s2…….this is the suspense-serye I’ve wanted Filipino seryes to try. The ending is perfect. The motive is clear especially if sinubaybayan yung drama and the character. Wag na natin sirain pa,GMA.#WWTheRealKiller

Widow’s Web revolved around the mystery of Alexander’s death. The crime was discovered to be committed by Alexander’s brother, Vladimir (Adrian Alandy).
According to a flashback, Alexander was apparently alive after being shot and falling into the pool.
Another character watched Alexander battling for his life and observed this. However, rather than assisting him, the guy drowned Alexander.
The series ended with a smirk from Vladimir, knowing that he had gone away from the crime he committed.
