    We root for Ms. Caplan's Alex, which may seem strange, but it makes the entire production something much more intriguing, meaningful and memorable.

    Sure, the pacing is a bit uneven episode to episode and some smaller storylines feel slightly rushed. However, the daring narrative choices and arresting performances led by Caplan make this series a psychological adventure that is more than worthy of your undivided attention.
