Outsmarts Itself
9 January 2023
Acting is good but Chloë Sevigny (Lynn Roy) really stole the show. She played her role exceptionally well. Unfortunately, this series is presented in a way that tries to get a little too tricky. It's a style designed to be different but all it really does is outsmart itself.

For one, there is a constant jump back and forth in time that starts to wear and ultimately becomes annoying by breaking up the flow of the story. Had they done this sparingly it may have actually worked but it's happening all the time so it did not.

Next, the show takes liberties by injecting things into the narrative that never ever happened. On top of that, we have imaginary conversations shoehorned into the episodes while there are also real conversations, I think, that occur. What's real and what's imagined is anyone's guess. For example, there's a scene in the back of the truck... I was left wondering if that actually happened in real life - or whether it didn't but was supposed to have actually happened in the scene - or if it was just her imagination.
