...that I really hope will all be answered in the next 7 episodes, and will update my rating and review accordingly.
I know nothing about the person the show is based on aside from him being a rapist and I am hoping the show doesn't go there because it would be too alienating, at least in my opinion.
Tom Holland is incredible in his characterization, and he doesn't try to wring any sympathy or love from the viewer, which is refreshing and admirable.
The questions I have are about his alters; the term I think was used in Sybil and/or The Three Faces of Eve, which are the only movies I remember seeing about this disorder and my only reference points so I will use that...
If one of his alters is the one carrying out the drug deals, for example, why does the dealer know him as Danny and not as Jonny? And how does Danny reconcile the fact that nobody else sees Jonny or Mike except him? We know he is Ariana, and we know people know him by that name...but nobody knows him as Jonny or Mike. It also seems like Mike takes over to deal with Annabelle, although Ariana did also, but Annabelle only knows Danny...and Yitzak and Jonny both can become violent when Danny needs rescuing, but how the hell did Danny fight off an entire gang beating him up? How is Danny there with all these alters, but still has blackouts? There's more, but you get the idea.
Just so many questions that I hope will be addressed in the next 7 episodes, since I can see that most of the alters we have seen will not be back after episode 4, in which case I assume we will see how Danny personifies all his different personalities and it will be fascinating to see Tom Holland's performance(s).
I won't quibble about the inaccuracies of the time period, because I am invested and can suspend disbelief when it comes to various anachronisms, as long as the story is delivered satisfactorily.
As stated I will update accordingly when it's over.
