This series was compelling, even though it confused and disturbed me at times. One troubling feature was the relationship between David and his mother. What the hell was that all about? Every adult in this film is messed up. But it was still intriguing enough, that I binged all of it in a day and a half.

Fantastic script and acting, fascinating story. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion. You just know it's not going to end well but you must keep watching. Give it a try.

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 progression of the Israeli production keeps improving but, still far far away from a quality level production.. i would admit that Ayelet Zurer's acting is the only thing that kept me going watching the show, she is a good actor that shines and makes me forget the the show does not fully takes me there. The rest of the cast is ok but nothing to get over excited acting wise. The concept is good but could have done much better.

The lighting has no sense of mood in most cases and story telling, the location choice is just not working for the desired motives and suspense and seam like whatever was available to shoot in. Mediocre cinematography and camera work. Good concept but low budget execution.

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.

I think it is a decent show. Strange at times, but hey sometimes those are the ones that go out with a bang. I was able to watch with English being dubbed over. If it weren't for that I probably wouldn't have cared for it as much. Don't get me wrong I can read, but Apple is a US multinational company that makes over 2 trillion a year. With that being said take the time to dub a series or a film.

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.

First of all, I will say, if you watched the dubbed version, then this show is a 1, if you watched it with the subtitles, which I always recommend for foreign shows, then this is a 3 or 4 Max. Overall, don't let anyone try to convince you that you're not sophisticated or artistic enough, to grasp this show, and therefore that is the reason you don't enjoy it. It's simply not a very good show. Very boring, not intriguing enough, and quite annoying at times. The co-lead character, Sophie, couldn't be more annoying and unenjoyable, if she tried. The show tries to be Faustian or Lynchian, but it just doesn't work. Lots of people have tried to be David Lynch, and sometimes it just doesn't work. It sometimes didn't work for lunch himself. I love foreign shows/movies, but don't waste your time on this one

You just want to keep watching and stop watching at the same time. The story, the acting and the way it's done just draws you in.

I haven't seen any Israeli programmes or films, so was intrigued as to what this offering was all about. The first seven episodes worked quite well, and the storyline was interesting. However, the eighth (final) episode was so fractured and choppy, and it didn't seem to make any sense whatsoever. The scenery was fantastic, but that's really all that I can compliment the film on. The acting was too formulaic and one dimensional. Altogether, it was a huge disappointment, for me anyway, and I'm hoping that there won't be a sequel.

Another flawless Israeli production.

A peculiar story because it approaches the world of audiovisual direction from the inside with ease and a certain suspense. A very well run psychological drama, without fanfare, very sincere.

But the most important thing about this series is the great work of Ayelet Zurer. Kornowski's, too. But the first one "eats" the screen. His character is fascinating because it is real, human, credible.

Well done by Sigal Avin. A very nice and velvety color palette in the image.

The series has a certain "air" with Lynchian environments.

I love how this series plays with the perception of each of these two women's realities, intertwining them to the point where it is difficult to unpick one from the other. This, coupled with the terrific script writing, and cinematography make it a no miss. The attention to detail is superlative and both leading ladies are disciplined, precise and intense. Take the time, you will not regret it.

They were trying to make an erotic manipulative thriller but I don't feel they were successful at it. The dialogue is bad and the characters ramble on and on. The content of the dialogue isnt as clever or sophisticated as it pretends to be. The erotica is almost non-existent. Hard pass on this one

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.

I watched it entirely but couldn't get over this twisted scenario.

Not entirely sure what bothered me more, the fake character of Sophie or the weird one of Alice.

I like foreign production (Tehran is a great one), but this one leaves me with half a feeling of having lost my time.

Probably the best ever mini series which was bought from Israel. An intense story which will you glue you to your sofa all the way to the end of episode 8. Cast lead by the amazing acting of Ayelet Zurer, Lihi Kornowski and Gal Toren who are all elevated by super script writer & directed Sigal Avin. Must watch Thank you * * * * *

Considering the fact that I don't speak Hebrew I found this series to have the best overdubs dialogue acting I have ever heard.

The series itself is both compelling and disturbing in equal measure. I would definitely give Israeli media another look if this is the standard of production.

I tried I really did to get into this drama psychological thriller but I just couldn't. I watched the whole thing and stuck to the end I really hated it. It was so slow nothing happens and it just drags on and on and on. The acting was good but the plot went no where. Don't waste your time.

I'm really enjoying Apple's approach to programming on their new Apple+ network. No bloated fillers or bargain basement straight to DVD content. Losing Alice is a perfect example of talented film making, writing, cinematography and fantastic acting. In this erotic psychological thriller from Sigal Avin everyone plays their part well, however, it's Lihi Kornowski who is the stand out performer. Lihi is mesmerising, and engaging - you can't take your eyes off her when she's on the screen. I highly recommend Losing Alice if you love psychological thrillers.

About 2.5 episodes in I realized that I was beyond bored and didn't care enough about the characters or story to keep watching. Maybe it gets better as it goes along, but with so much content out there, I felt like my time was better spent elsewhere.

It's hard to pull off an erotic thriller but I thought this show was excellent. I watched the whole thing in two days. The actors were cast well and the cinematography was also amazing. Not sure why there are low reviews but I highly recommend streaming this one!

Great writing. Great story and definitely great actors! I highly recommend watching it. You won't regret ;)
