Thought provoking, intense drama on the complex full effects of an affair. Uniquely told from each characters POV. Got too crazy by season 4
Just finished the first season. Very good. Slow burn. Whole story is seen from two perspectives.
Slow, dark, with good acting convincing story really worth a watch
Slow drama show... Started out kinda catching, but I lost interest halfway through... Couldn't keep my interest...
Promising premise that turns into a slightly mediocre and predictable drama with exaggerated plot points.
Gave up a few episodes into season one. Extremely repetitive standard straight sex and it quickly started to drag. Couldn't get invested.
This started very intriguingly with emotional depth & a great premise of showing episodes from multiple unreliable POVs. Then it dragged on.
It was really good but jumped the shark around the end of season 4. watched first episode of season 5 and realized I didn't care anymore.
The different perspectives were great. How people flee & cope with trauma. At the end the whole story ties up, teaches us about forgiveness
started off really well and the concept of filming things from different perspectives is unique, but it does wane after season 3
