Why Did I Watch The Whole Series?
28 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Image a 7 hour long Lifetime movie about 2 mentally messed up twins- one worse than the other and there you have the premise of the 7 part series.

I stuck around and watched all 7 shows and hate myself for doing so. It's SOOOOOOO dragged out. At least 5 episodes could've been left out to be honest.

There are so many loopholes and the whole twin "switching" was ridiculous, at times confusing and made little sense; the idea NO ONE except their mother could tell them apart was just stupid. As kids, if 1 did something bad they'd switch. Why? Made no sense except to give weight to "bad Gina." There's way too much filler and no substance.

To me, about 85% of the series is 1 twin looking for the other and saying "I'll fix this." There is 1 episode where "Leni" walks around for the duration of the show saying "I gotta find "Gina," "I have to talk to Gina." It was so monotonous that it started irritating me. And again, the whole twin switching lives and their husbands don't know the difference, her daughter doesn't, Dad doesn't, they can resume each other's jobs and so on got to be so far fetched that I honestly started rolling my eyes and a few times laughed out loud. No explanation is given either why 1 twin is so obsessed and jealous of the other which sets up the series and steers it into Lifetime Movie territory.

I won't give away anything about the ending except to say it was obvious with a twist.

I'd skip this series. There are WAY BETTER ones to watch.
