Gypsy

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.

I really love this series. I saw a lot of negative reviews and almost didn't watch it. I am not through with the season, so I cannot speak to the ending, or if it is satisfying. However, it is a slow-burn, layered, psychological drama. It reminds me a little of the Hulu original Chance, which also featured a psychologist as the central character. It will not appeal to anyone seeking a fast-paced series, but if you don't need all that and are willing to let a show slowly reveal its plot, give this one a try.

This show is an alluring, slowly-built seduction that reflects the storyline itself. I would kill for a season 2, but I'm on my third rewatch and this singular season is gold on its own.

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.
