The 1h23m flew by. I had intended to pause it in the middle but found myself almost at the end when I stopped to check.

Sydney Sweeney's performance is perfect. I never once felt that she was acting. The only thing that was a little jarring was that she was physically much less muscular than the real Reality Winner.

Living in the UK, I've only ever seen a few clips from Fox News, but it was amusing that being forced to listen to Fox News on the TV screens at work was one of the things that tipped Reality Winner over the edge.

The first two episodes were entertaining, but after that it became increasingly implausible.

This seems to be being sold as a "who is playing whom" thriller, but things are so imbalanced that "who is playing whom" is not in any real doubt.

While Lee is far from being a central character, I found the way his character developed to be hard to swallow.

The two police detectives were very poorly conceived. As if the writer felt he had to write some police into this, even though he really didn't want to. There's a laughable, very brief conversation between the two of them where they essentially demonstrate just how lacklustre they are.

So, maybe watch the first two episodes but then call it a day. Save yourself from the rather questionable ending.

I gave this 25 minutes and then abandoned it. Nothing much happened and certainly nothing of any substance.

For something billed as a zombie comedy, it was signally unfunny.

It felt very much like a film built on one very flimsy idea. Perhaps that idea is developed in the remainder of the film, but it simply didn't draw me in enough to make me want to stick around to find out.
