I love Toni in almost everything but what the heck was this? It was literally a show on what not to do The daughter was the most unintelligent, bumbling idiot that I couldn't keep watching this because of her chsarqcter. Was this writing intended to make fun of a millennial and portray them as morons? If so, then it succeeded!
One of the earlier reviewers nailed it - it would have been a great 90 minute movie . The continual hoping back and forth between the past to present to past to present was annoying , distracting and uncalled for - the first episode could have set the stage for the remainder of the series far more enjoyable - also reducing the # of episodes to 6 would have helped the continuity and movement - One other reviewer said even Toni Collett couldn't save this series - actually she did - without her it was a 3 or less.
Far too long for the content which makes it drag in places. I found the hopping around in time periods very frustrating and rather confusing which would be even worse if not watched in a pretty short timeframe ( in my case over 2 days).
Had it not been for Toni Colette I wouldn't have watched it to start with. But even though she's such a powerful actress it was still rather a disappointment but by no means as bad as the numerous 1 and 2 score ratings that some have given it imo.

Alright into the second episode I knew I couldn't handle how freaking annoying the loser daughter is...I can't stand how immature and dumble-ing bumbling fumbling and mentally weak she is, it's too much. Unfortunately my husband wanted to keep watching. So here we sit with me smh every 2 seconds at her ineptitude and having a hard time paying attention to anything else that is happening, even Toni Collette and Gil Birmingham aren't helping me stay interested.
I thought this would be one where I might read the book because maybe it was just Netflix that made this that bad, but then read a few other reviews that said the daughter was just as annoying in the book, sooooo that's that.

It was really disappointing to see in how many ways the young version does not resemble to the main character. The voice of the girl from the flashbacks is absolutely nothing like Toni Collette's, not to mention their face (the young girl has a super round face structure which just cannot change that much while growing up). This was a big missed opportunity which was irritating the whole way along the series. Sometimes I even forgot who the young girl is. Seemed like a totally different character and was hard to connect to the story in the present.
All in all, I liked the storyline but the only good actor for me was the mother. The first episode convinced me to start watching but it became harder and harder to continue.
