Losing Alice

I just watched the first three episodes and I can't wait for more. The acting is superb. The storyline is provocative and engaging. I'm so glad AppleTV is streaming this show. It's beautifully done and I really hope it gets the recognition it deserves. I've always loved Ayelet Zurer. She's an actress of immeasurable talent and a captivating beauty. I recently watched her play Milada Horáková in the film Milada. Her performance in this movie blew me away.

Stick to Adam Sandler movies, leave the good stuff to people who understand it. This is definitely the good stuff; intense, with superb acting and directing, Losing Alice is the total package. It does give off Lynchian vibes and in the best way - it's not nonsensical and never too meandering, it's a tightly plotted and complete story. There are multiple unforgettable scenes and I know I'll be replaying them in my mind for months to come; in short, this is an amazing show.

Some reviewers are complaining about the spoken language. And that they have to help themselves by subtitles. Do they realise that not the whole world is speaking English ? I'm Flemish, speaking a kind of Dutch. Since our whole live we always watch a non-Dutch spoken thing by subtitles. Always ... We sometimes do understand, and speak some other languages, where under English. So please, be aware of what you criticise concerning the native language of a film or serial. It's a kind of being respectful. About 'Losing Alice' itself : we just watched the first episode. It's hard stuff. So, we wait with an final opinion until we've seen more.

This pulled me in, then ended up as a train wreck. I actually stopped watching the last episode. I am walking away from this, without understanding the conclusion, BECAUSE I DON'T CARE. Seriously, the last two episodes became idiotic.

"Sophie" is NEVER particularly "interesting." She is supposed to be some "Lolita." She's basically an annoying "millennial."

It really angers me, when I waste my time watching a series like this. It started out fantastic, then just butchered it all.

Again, A TOTAL waste of time, Apple+.

The bad reviews are bewildering to me. It's like there's an agenda to bring down this series. Watched Defending Jacob before this, which got high 7s, and I literally fast forwarded through half of it. Presumed Innocent, another Apple TV series with high 7s, miserably slow and boring. Those shows pale in comparison to Losing Alice, which does everything right that they do wrong.

It's subtle, well paced, cerebral, atmospheric, multidimensional, absorbing and thought provoking. It has an interesting premise. It views like a really well made film. It kept my interest and made me think and feel. The other shows must be for the masses (enough with the hackneyed dark lighting!) This is for those who truly appreciate complexity in filmmaking.
