Mosaic

A twisty solid drama from HBO. I enjoyed the acting especially and noticed how Soderbergh's strong touch really helped elevate this show.

A crime drama about a missing woman and the detectives, family members, and friends involved. It sounds familiar, I know, and maybe the unique feature (watching from different perspectives) doesn't sound worthwhile, I understand. But this plays out like no other crime drama I have seen recently, perhaps ever, and it is the best show I've seen in a good while.

First off, it's Steven Soderbergh producing & directing. In addition to the many great movies under his belt, he also created a fantastic, unique 2-season TV show called The Knick. So the camera work, photography, lighting, and editing are all outstanding.

Second, Mosaic runs like a great 6-hour play, but utilizes true detective S1 style time jumps. Virtually the entire show is dialogue. This only works with great actors & a great script, and this show has both. The characters are as 3-dimensional as they can get.

I would say more, but hesitate as I don't want to even trends towards a spoiler. Mosaic stood out from everything else on TV these days, and if you appreciate 'good' shows, do not miss this one.

Note: This review was originally written by reddit user Mr_Ree416. But he spoke my mind.

Sharon Stone delivers a fine performance as does the rest of the cast.

Ignore these negative reviews. It is as if they are unaware of Soderberg's previous work, his style, his penchant for risk taking.

This is great. Settle in, pour yourself a glass, turn off your phone and take your time watching this. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great stuff indeed.

I almost did not watch Mosaic after reading the comments here and finding a quite poor review by numbers.

However, Mosaic managed to suprise me postively - Soderbergh's superb directing style with great dogma experiments and complex story drive you into a deep murder mystery. There is something from Lynch and Nolan but finally it is a real auteaur film (yes more a film than a tv serie) by Soderbergh. It is also more than a murder mystery as one can figure out from the great ending.
