A mess. After three episodes I've concluded that i have no idea what's going on and why i should care. A lot of f-this/f-that, most to no purpose -- but that's what writers are delivering these days - it's beyond tedious.

This new incarnation is a series that casts Rachel Weisz as the identical siblings with a creepily close relationship. They're also brilliant gynecologists who are researching innovative and possibly illegal ways create life. The first ep is dark and disturbing, including the most explicit birth montage I've ever seen. Things are still weird in Ep 2, but soon after it becomes a relationship drama, losing site of the sci-fi elements. It has a slick visual style and compelling cinematography, plus some creepy body/organ weirdness. To top it off, Weisz is brilliant in both roles, creating 2 different women with equally troubling issues. While the concept swings big, the promise of the first episodes is diluted by too much romance, which renders the series ultimately disappointing. (Review based on all 6 episodes) Expand

It's like Nip/Tuck but without the soap opera elements. Rachel Weisz is simply amazing in dual roles.

Pleasantly surprised. A+ for me. One of the best mini series I've watched in recent years, I desperately wanted more episodes in this wild universe! Absolutely unhinged and spellbinding.

Absolutely unhinged and spellbinding. I dare to say it's better than the movie at times, especially the themes touched. It goes without saying that Rachel Weisz is phenomenal, but I found the writing very clever too (though I would have done without a few filler scenes). The relationship between the twins will haunt for a long time. Great all around. Expand
