Ep 1 (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, The Finale)


was cool. The actress who plays young Kirsten is great.

Two for two.

reply

Very cool. 3 for 3.

reply

4 for 4. It's a shame it's only a limited series, but maybe they can keep it going like The Leftovers.

reply

5 for 5. Excellent.

Are you bothered any by the number and duration of flashbacks scenes? I haven't read the novel to know if its structured this way as well, but it seems to slow the pacing down and make it harder to watch.

I would kind of prefer a more linear timeline.

reply

No, I like it. Things keep taking on new meaning when you can pay off setups in either direction.

6 & 7 weren't as good as the others. Not bad, but there was too much crammed into 6, and 7 uses a storytelling approach with our protagonist that I've never been a fan of in any film or show. Also, after not being sure at all, I now feel strongly about where this is all heading as far as climax and resolution.

reply

I thought the wheels were coming off way before ep. 6 or 7. Im just gunna finish the season out. Maybe it'll turn out better somehow

reply

8 was like 6 and 7, too much crammed in, but 9 was much better.

reply

Still too much crammed into the final eps, and there was a slice of cheese in the finale, but I still liked what they were shooting for despite not quite executing everything.

reply

I agree that they didn't execute everything or well
