Full Circle

I will start with how some of the other positive reviews started, which is I don't understand the negative reviews.

The story flows so well, everything ties together so well without being too contrived. Each character is unique and the dialogue delivers the story, nothing is wasted.

All the performances were perfect for each character.

Each episodes leaves you wanting to know more, and by the last episode it fully realizes the circle and you feel fulfilled. You are never left confused.

Those who are complaining about this series must not like good shows or know what a good show is.

I will add, that it is best to watch this with subtitles because some of the accents are hard to follow.

I'm a Soderbergh fan, even if I don't like everything he does. He's not someone who's going to direct the next Marvel movie, he takes chances. My biggest complaint with him is usually his dialogue which often feels improvised. It didn't get a whole lot better here.

I appreciated the overall messages of this one. It was a story about accountability, and about how sometimes you can be held accountable for the way you hold people accountable. The story unfolds very gradually, you're given the pieces of the puzzle in a somewhat tedious manner and I think he struggle with finding a way to reveal everything so it felt a tad clumsy.

It's hard to recognize the quality of the acting because the characters are all such doofuses, but I think everyone did a pretty good job. Special mention to Zazie Beetz who I usually don't like but she was really good here, annoying though her character was meant to be.

The biggest crime committed was the blue bag they made Clare Danes wear as clothes.

Even Claire Danes couldn't save it. It seems like everything is ruined by poor directing. Chaos. Inconsistent atmosphere that makes you sometimes lose track of whether it's supposed to be thriller or comedy. Especially in the scenes with Timothy Olyphant. Lots of unreliable situations that don't allow you to immerse yourself. When it comes to the characters from Guyana, it feels like it's fantasy; when the scenes involve the wealthy family, it feels like it's drama. Lastly, I know New York well, and this is the first production set there that I don't believe it is. And it's not an advantage that they experimented with, for example, "a different NYC," no, it's another unreliable element. Because of all this, the whole series feels like you're grading a school assignment: "they did this wrong, that's good," instead of simply following the story.

Surprising low scores for this excellent, dark mini-series. In fact, once you start watching it, you have to watch all 6 episodes.

It's a low-paced thriller which carries a lot of suspense yet it is easy to follow and all pieces come together during the last 2-3 episodes. The story is quite complex and develops slowly but it's rewarding. Some of the visuals haunted me for some time, since the director immerses the audience into a weird and unfamiliar world, from both ends of the society.

Very good cast, acting is great and especially the young actors are convincing. It's really worth watching, I enjoyed every minute of it.

I think a lot of the negative reviews come from people that don't understand the plot

It's more than a typical random plot. I love the twists and the turns in it.

It's very classic Steven Soderbergh style. Dark with so much going on

So I believe this may be hard for some to keep up.

The filming and the cinematography is really well done.

You couldn't ask for a stronger cast. From big names like Dennis Quaid to the unknown actors. Everyone is superb. The most amazing characters are the women (very Steven S) Zazie Beetz As Harmony, Claire Danes and. CCH Pounder, Adia and Suzanne Savoy. These women are the the bread and butter of the series. Well done for writing such strong female characters.

It's a fun ride.
