Gary Oldman was originally rumored to star, but was replaced by Kevin Kline
Line of Events
It follows Catherine Ravenscroft, a television documentary journalist whose work is based on exposing the wrongdoings of long-respected institutions. I rarely leave reviews but after seeing some puzzling negatives I had to share my thoughts.
This show demands your undivided attention
If you’re looking for something to have in the background while you surf on your phone, this isn’t the show for you. The direction is exceptional, Alfonso Cuaron’s signature style is evident everywhere.
It seems that some viewers may not have the patience or concentration to follow the plot
The use of long, wide shots combined with great performances by the cast, excellent sound design and stunning cinematography create 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 performance, things start to fall into place.
This show has been fantastic so far
If you’re still confused, Episode 2 will clear some things up. If it maintains this level of quality all the way through, it could become a cult classic for years to come.
