    The series lacks the tact or nuance to investigate the idea of inherent evil, and what’s left is a rather muddled whodunit in which the answer ceases to be very interesting.

    A show whose tone shifts chaotically should, at least, be interesting. Or it should be able to truly be about the things it’s about. ... [Poppy's] flaws — self-obsession, a righteous belief in her infallibility, inability to truly see others as anything besides characters in her story — become the show’s. ... A show that gets a lot very wrong.

    Its most egregious sin may be wasting an incredibly talented cast, who all get sucked into the quicksand of hackneyed dialogue and clichéd plotting. There’s not a single moment in the first three episodes that feels true or even interesting as a soap opera. The truth is that it’s one of the worst shows of the year on any network.

The characters seem so unbelievable, Poppy especially. She agrees to visit a convicted murderer in jail (believing him to be innocent) and then once its revealed he joined an Aryan nation type gang she runs out of the room in terror. That part may be believable actually. A black woman in 2020 is perfectly fine visiting a murderer but a racist is just over the line. Of course he would join a gang in prison. I wonder if she reacts to the Crips or Bloods with that level of over-the-top frenzy. I'm just so tired of cliched racism story lines being squeezed into every single show on TV. Enough already.… Full Review »
