Gypsy

Unlike many of the review writers on IMDb, I have watched the full ten episodes before giving my opinion. It's an original plot with intriguing twists. Jean, the main character, kept surprising me with her own disturbing entanglements. Her being a therapist, and a very good one I may add, always on top of her game is almost admirable. It's more than just ironic the way she manipulates peoples' lives, its making the character really original and interesting. It's quite a refreshing and original show, sometimes I would even call it actual art. It's somehow freakish and crazy, but also quite recognizable. 8 out of 10 for originality and leaving all the unanswered questions.

I am deeply captivated by the show especially Watts' rendition of the main character. Each episode is satisfying and it's like having its own mini closure so I can enjoy 1 episode a day. Some claim Gypsy threw forward lots of questions unanswered with a cliffhanging ending of season 1. However, if you watched carefully since the beginning; the answers were all written between the lines. Why not to leave a little space to our imaginations? It's a regret but no surprise that Netflix canceled the show. Gypsy is deeply introspective, soul revealing and exploring; consequently, it only suits a relatively small niche.

Without repeating the general setup of the story, the series is centered around Watt's character Jean. To say that she's complicated is a vast understatement. The episodes leave enormous unanswered questions about what is driving her tremendously aberrant behavior. That will either frustrate you terribly, or leave you intrigued as I was. The final episode leaves many loose threads in the plot line so I assume it's a cliffhanger, though one could possibly read the ending as a hanging question grand finale. If you can hang with a sometimes low- energy plot, if you like watching a great actress testing her limits with a totally out-of-the-box character, you may enjoy watching Watts as Jean. She is one twisted sister, that I can promise you.

Gypsy was a superb show with quality, intrigue, intricate plot and storylines all in one basket.

• The screenplay and plot were amazingly well-done with finesse and always had your attention grabbed
• The acting was awesome from all of the cast with special kudos to the brilliant performance by Naomi Watts. She is born to perform such roles and I will never forget her mastery in Mulholland Drive
• The torrid scenes were very believable and true emotions were shown and felt
• The music and soundtrack were up to the point, well chosen and created
• The twisted psychology behind the various plots and intricate manipulations brilliantly thought out and depicted

The final episode shone brilliantly and begged a second season, providing answers to many left out mysteries and raising new ones.

Unfortunately, it was deceptively cancelled and left the fans with frustration and much needed therapy of their own. Looking much forward to seeing Naomi Watts in another psychological thrilling drama series in the near future.

It takes a special kind of person to comprehend this show. I don't think I have ever been so emotionally involved in a series. It made me feel like I have never felt. It made me think like I never have before. I felt Naomi Watts pain, happiness and confusion. I cried when she cried I laughed when she laughed. But for some it will make no sense.
