What/If

I wanted to like this but unfortunately I've wasted nearly 10 hours of my life. As someone else wrote, you feel like you're watching three different shows and none of them were worth watching. This show should have focused on the biotech story rather than branching off into tangents thinly held together by minor actors.

Think of all the amazing things you could do with 10 hours, and then do those things instead.

When Zellweger's not on screen, What/If is a mostly empty, broad strokes neo-noir soap, frothy and forgettable. When she appears, it's still all of those things-- but dear lord, please pass the popcorn.

Ok. This is not Netflix's best turn but you have got to give props to Zellweger for taking some time off and coming back to something completely different. Great hair, great clothes, great attitude and she's looking better than ever; she's delicious in this role and looks like she's having fun. The other storylines pal in comparison to when she's on the screen. I'll hang on just to watch her!

I love the intrigue in this show and Renee Zellweger plays a brilliant part. She definitely carries the show and is magentic on screen. I dont take any notice of reviews and like to form my own opinions. The only thing that irks me is that the storylines for the gay relationship and the residents affair etc dont seem to be relevant to the story and the main story would still continue without these characters. On episode 6 and Im waiting for it to come together some how. Despite that its worth watching to see Renee in a different roll than weve seen her play and she plays powerful tortured, lonely, cruel and intriguing very well indeed.

This started out promisingly enough but went straight downhill around the third episode. Being the masochist I am I watched the entire season, but it got worse and more preposterous as it unfolded.

The writing and acting are awful. Jane Levy, who I remember fondly as the daughter in Suburgatory, is simply dreadful in the lead. The others are all similarly awful. That includes Renee Zellweger.

The writers also wove in way too many subplots. This hot mess was all over the place.

Everyone looked good and the locations were nice, but overall this was a miss. I still give it five stars for effort. What was Netflix thinking?
