It falls apart fast especially with all the dream sequences. Almost nonsensical by the end. The basic story would have worked fine as a straight mystery without all the additional fantastical elements and the weak social commentary. I know I'm supposed to admire both of those things and the crazy production design but it just does not work. I battled my way to the end of each episode and went on to the next just because I'm a completist and I do like Portman in most of her films. I cant recommend this series and I'm surprised at the range of reviews and ratings for the series here. To each his own.

A drama about two women fighting two different battles to achieve a common goal. A drama about freedom told with magnificent visuals supported with great music. Dynamic set of characters that enables a wide exploration into the western society that's undergoing rapid change. Sincere performances by the cast full of expression. There are no heroines even the central characters are criticized for their selfish desperations. It's different not the typical thriller most of us come looking for yet succeeds in keeping any viewer engaged till the very end. Absence of a one central theme makes this watch even more worthwhile.

The characters are strong, deep and the acting is superb. The story is good, as is the adaptation to the format. The main characters are not necessarily to be liked, but rather understood.

I'm only through the fourth episode and would binge the rest if they were available, but now I'll wait for the rest each week. The parallel storylines melt together and double the intrigue. I truly do not understand why anyone could hate on this series. I'm really enjoying it.

Too early to say for sure, but I suspect a couple of additional episodes might have helped. Some of the backstories could have used more development and depth. Overall, I'm glad that we gave it a watch and recommend it.

I've watched like everything, and I mean everything, available streaming lately. This is so well done! I don't understand why people have an issue with it or can't see how well done it is. It's situations like this where I don't ever know whether I can actually believe reviews. Perhaps the intelligent writing a nuance are too much for simpler minds. Definitely add this to your watch list. Natalie Portman is amazing as are Moses Ingram and Mikey Madison (haven't seen her since the AMAZING "Better Things as Pamela Adelon's eldest daughter - her acting is so well done I had no idea for the first couple of episodes it was even her).

The whole cast is amazing and this is seriously one of the best shows I've seen recently. I can't believe that people are saying it's a "snoozer" or not well done. The only thing I'm mad about is that I stumbled upon it before all the episodes were out because I can't deal with not being able to see all of it at once!

Review posted after watching episode 4.

Hard to understand the low reviews some people are posting - ignore them. I'm finding this to be an engaging and interesting story. I've been a fan of Natalie Portman since Leon: The Professional. Her performance here is one of her most nuanced and complete characters. The entire cast is really good, especially Moses Ingram and Y'lan Noel, who I haven't seen before, and Wood Harris who seems to be everywhere recently.

Still a long way to go in the series, but I'm enjoying Lady in The Lake and think it's worth a watch. Give it a couple of episodes, however, before forming an opinion. It started coming together for me during episode 2. I certainly feel that even after 4 episodes one cannot honestly make a final assessment of the show. However, I really want to see more of this story.

As with other Apple TV shows the production values are top notch. I am old enough to remember the 1960's and the depiction of the era jibes with my memories.s

I have not read the book the series is based on, so I cannot comment about how it follows the book.
