Gypsy

I enjoyed it a lot, Naomi is an amazing actor and she keeps you intrigued through the episodes. You should give it a try if you like psychological dramas.

The only problem I have with Gypsy is the writing is not very good, in terms of the character's dialogue and the aspect of being a thriller, if Netflix decides to give this show a second season it should probably hire a few writers and it's going to be great.

Naomi Watts is brilliant playing Jean Holloway, Billy Crudup and Sophie Cookson nailed the parts of Michael and Sidney. Overall, the whole cast is great and it has potential to be a really great show.

By the last episodes they were able to finally deliver the thriller aspect with the show, but it took a little bit of time to get there, so I understand why some critics didn't appreciate it. Mid-season I was hooked by the story, I really liked it! Crazy ride for sure.

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.

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.

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.
