    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.

    Despite the casting — and working from screenwriter James Dearden’s original script to create the expansive world in this adaptation — the first two episodes of “Fatal Attraction” are a drag. ... Yet, as the third episode begins, the series’ pace, tone and direction all meet harmoniously, making for a wildly enjoyable remaining six episodes.

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