Another incredibly boring time sink from Hulu. The performances are decent but the show is designed to waste time. Doubt anything was left on the cutting room floor during editing.

Doubt anything was left on the cutting room floor during editing. The biggest issue is that this style of show has been done so many times before and this is yet another, by the numbers, murder mystery. So many other, better shows out there.… Expand

Even the theme and opening credits were dreamy yet sinister. Jessica Biel was amazing in the lead role and stole the show (even with a subtly comedic cameo from her husband). I'm not a fan of Melanie Lynskey, but she too is perfectly cast due to her only mode, dour agitation (and that cringey-worthy baby doll voice). She is the Skylar White of this production, a victim who we should be supporting, but choose the bad guy to root for. Supporting cast is also stellar.… Expand
