Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Ok, if there are not enough or too many Michael C. Hall haters on here, I want to talk about the story arc. This show feels like it could have written well and fine in a scaled-down, 2 part miniseries, because after episode 7 or 8 I was snoring. It was very engaging for the first two episodes, and after that it got so dull that I'm on my third try just trying to get to the finale. I hate the fact that the creator brought Michale C. Hall and his cronies to try to stretch a short film into a series. If this was a ~90 min thrill ride, cut BETTER (so many slow and boring scenes), and fleshed the main players out better, I'd say 9/10. That said, they pitched this as an eight-part, slowwwwww miniseries that went from cool to hot in the uptake, but then a changeup outside that no one's gonna swing for. Beyond that, I think all of the characters are great. If you're a fan of Mike C. Watch it. But I think who really shines through all of this is his good friend, (No name, no spoilers) who takes up all of the screen. Whenever he's back, I thought, Yay! He's back... But how's he gonna help solve crime.Boring murder mystery. I was psyched for this, but kinda let down. But if you love getting roped into a Netflix Series, and are up at 2am just trying to stomach the last episode. this one's for you...7/10

This show is OK but it's a bit much in the end. Some of the acting work isn't quite top notch and there's so many twists, on top of twists on top of other twists, so they are not all expected which I like but at a point it's all just a bit too much and too contrived. I will try it again though if it comes back.

I'm amazed that so many people have slated this series.I'm a pretty discerning viewer, with high standards in regard to production values, quality of writing directing and performance, and overall technical and artistic excellence. I'm a stickler for detail, violently object to having my intelligence as a viewer insulted, and am very critical of everything that I watch. But after avoiding this series (due to bad reviews) for some time, I eventually decided to watch it, expecting the worst.Perhaps, then, my lowered expectations were partly responsible for me enjoying it so much. It certainly wasn't perfect, but I was gripped from beginning to end, and was very well satisfied with the overall quality of the production and all the elements I listed earlier.I did feel that the last episode was a little rushed, and rather desperately flailed around trying to tie-up all the various narrative threads, but it was a satisfying (if somewhat predictable) conclusion.My main concern before watching, having read numerous comments and reviews about it, was Michael C. Hall's accent. I have been a huge fan of his through Six Feet Under and Dexter, but had very low expectations of him being able to pull-off a convincing British accent. (Americans doing bad British accents is also a big pet peeve of mine!)So I was frankly astonished at how well he did it. I am British, and speak with basically the same accent as his character. He sounded just like me, consistently and throughout, apart from two very brief and minor slips - neither of which would have betrayed him as an American (more likely a Brit with a regional accent who's had elocution lessons to sound less provincial).Anyone knocking his accent in this is either just looking for ways to attack and fixing on an obvious target (though an unwarranted one) or else is unable to properly recognise or analyse accents because of their own poor ear for such things.In my opinion, this was very much an above average series, and Hall was fabulous in it.

I must admit I'm only here because of Dexter (I'm just joking !) . Michael C. Hall, I should say. It's been a long time, and so I looked. I haven't finished it yet, but so far, I'm glued to every episode because of new revelations every now and then.I'm enjoying it. It's not Dexter (far from it). But I'm enjoying the different characters presented and the secrets that each of them is keeping...and how it will eventually play in the end.And so the question is how "safe" are we, really? Maybe Jenny can answer that.So, go ahead, watch !
