I commend Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij for attempting to create their own version of a true whodunit-Agatha Christie style. The only problem is they failed. One of the elements of Christie's stories that is instrumental to its success is the development of characters; most of the characters in this show were there for window dressing, wasting the talents of Joan Chen, Raúl Esparza, Jermaine Fowler, and to some extent Alice Braga, as well as others. As a result, none of the (extraneous) characters seem like viable murderers. Also, the show seemingly veers into creepy-Elon Musk and his bizarre custody battle with singer Grimes midshow: is this a murder mystery or a custody battle concerning the world's greatest megalomaniac? Ugh. And then there's the american accents of non-American actors.... STOP CASTING NON-AMERICANS AS AMERICANS. THEIR ACCENTS ARE NEVER GOOD. Emma Corrin's Rs gave her away with almost every word and her portrayal lacked soul. Is this watchable? Yes, but it would be better as 4 episodes or a movie.
