This show has been so frustrating.
I jumped in and really enjoyed the start. I mean, the first 3 eps were A+. Intriguing, unusual, great performances, tight scripting. Young Alice was astonishing. She reminded me of the Judith character and young actress from ThevWalking Dead series. The next 3 eps, however, were dreadful. Warranting an F grade. Characters betrayed by story, maudlin, repetitive loops in each ep, story stagnated, didn't move forward, became typical and uninteresting. So, great takeoff, then a crash landing. So disappointing. I'm not even looking forward to the ending. Still, must give credit to an unusual Sigourney role and she was great. I saw this right after binging Black Snow, an incredible and triumphant Australian series with a similar feel but with a very different story and fantastic execution. Just my humble opinion.
