Gary Oldman was originally considered for casting, but was replaced by Kevin Kline
Synopsis
It follows Catherine Ravenscroft, a television documentary journalist whose work has been built on exposing the transgressions of long-respected institutions. I rarely leave reviews, but after seeing some of the disconcerting negative ones here, I had to share my thoughts.
This show demands your undivided attention
If you’re looking for something to have on in the background while you scroll through your phone, this isn’t the show for you. The direction is excellent, with Alfonso Cuarón’s signature style evident throughout.
It seems that some viewers may not have the patience or focus to follow the plot
His use of long, immersive takes combined with stellar performances from the cast, excellent sound design, and stunning cinematography make for an incredible viewing experience. Episode 1 throws you right into the action without much exposition, but if you pay close attention to the dialogue and just watch the show, things will start to fall into place.
So far, this show has been fantastic
If you’re still confused, Episode 2 will help clear some things up. If it keeps up this level of quality until the end, it has the potential to become a cult classic in the years to come.
