I want to keep this short as I already wasted far too much time on this long slog of incoherent misery.

The acting here is top draw, no criticisms.

The pacing is simply simply awful and the plot whilst realistic in one sense is marred by unrealistic character decisions that facilitate it.

The producers also couldn't resist weaving progressive politics into it albeit it was done very subtly in comparison to the myriad other shows that cannot resist imparting their ideals in the most obvious and intellectually offensive manner, though it was still noticeable enough that I easily picked up on it. Summary, men are mysoginistic, white people (particularly southern folk) are bad, particularly suburban housewife types.

I'm English so maybe you all are really this bad but somehow cannot imagine American society would have made it into this century if that were the case. There is some glorification here of weakness and victimhood.

Anyway to top it all off is a shock value twist in the final 30 second scene which anyone with half a brain cell could see coming from about episode 5.

Honestly the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

Do not waste your time on this trash. It starts off absolutely epic. Like Alien / Prometheus then slowly degenerates into utter nonsensical tripe. The final episode is like they couldn't even be bothered anymore. Like the writers for the first half was put on Gardening leave. My wife is livid with me.

Watched this doing 100KM ride on zwift during lockdown and I was still bored out my skull
