Why are so many Netflix shows like that joke "this could have been an email."
The premise is entertaining, but each and every episode delves deeper and deeper into a story that just keeps getting further and further from what the original story was, and like any series with a thin premise, it needs to keep raising the stakes to keep you engaged.
I wanted to like this more, but I just keep coming back to the realization that this could have been a limited series and been so much more effective and enjoyable. More and more characters come into play, themes come into play late in the series seemingly out of nowhere.
The performances by the leads are fine, the show is well done, it's just too much show and ultimately just doesn't feel worth my time after watching 10 episodes.
