Started well in episode 1 but has got gradually worse. Far too many arty / dream sequences and often lose the storyline and the point that it just feels like filler and doesn't add anything to the show at all. Just a bit pretentious. As others have mentioned, quite a lot of messing about with the timeline which confuses things more. Characters not likeable either. I don't normally like giving up on a show but this is really pushing my buttons! Saw something recently saying it is a good replacement for not getting any more Mindhunter. Absolute rubbish. It doesn't compare in the slightest!!

On episode four and this viewer still has no idea what is happening, who the characters are and what motivates them. I have to agree with other viewers who found this show super confusing. The timeline shifting around adds to the confusion. I have taken to reading episodes summaries online I understand what's happening. Natalie Portman's put upon breathy accent is frustrating and comes across as contrived. As for the positives: the acting is well done, as is the costuming and visuals. It may require a second watch to understand the storyline and be able to enjoy the good. I've decided I'll watch the remainder since I've come this far!

Entertaining plot, as well the idea black vs white/Jewish people is very interesting the way this plays out. Just notice Portmans 'Maddie' looks are quite Jackie Kennedys (at least her dressing) yet in this story nothing but a spoiled brat and not very likable regarding what she wants to achieve so far. Contrary to her son, he's just too funny. Cleo's narrative voice-over as a reminder throughout works out well. Only annoying is the music... almost like watching a musical, it just takes too long to move on with the story. Nevertheless it will keep me hooked for the next episodes anyway. As I said, the idea behind it isn't bad and definitely has its twists and funny moments.
