The movie has some decent potential, but there's just not enough depth beyond the initial concept.

It starts out strong, then just sort of drags in the middle and tapers off with somewhat satisfying, but also a cop out resolution, and a cringe-worthy ending.

Imo the movie would've benefitted if it leaned more heavily into the dark and gritty, ominous atmosphere it had in the beginning.

It's also advertised as a thriller, but I'd say, apart from a couple of scenes, it's more anxious/angsty than thrilling.

I don't regret watching it, but it's not something I could see myself ever coming back to.

I was happy to see that the show made a slight recovery after the disastrous episode 7.

The bad taste it left still lingers, and "Playing House" is not nearly as good as the amazing first half of the season, but I was happy to see the course correction, so it at least prevented me from giving up on the entire series.

I'll continue watching in hopes that "Doll's house" was just some freak accident that they had to insert to meet Netflix's artificial identity quotas.

With the second season out, I have great hopes for this show, it's just unfortunate that the taint of the episode 7 will ensure that it won't ever be a 10/10 for me.

I absolutely loved the series up until this episode, but this didn't even feel like the same show.

Did someone lose a bet? It felt like they were competing how much identity politics can they cram, completely forgetting the plot and the vibe of excellent prior episodes.

I don't even mind SOME identity politics in my shows, but when it gets slammed in my face every single scene, accompanied with corny, unfunny, jarring political commentary, it just completely ruins the fantasy vibe.

I'll continue watching since up to this point I genuinely believed this was one of the best Dark Fantasy shows ever, but this episode seriously dampened by enthusiasm.
