    I had to stop watching after the first episode. 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 racistI had to stop watching after the first episode.

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.

    Sluggish. ... [Spencer is] miscast and overly serene. ... You know you're in trouble when the least fascinating character is the one driving the action. [9-22 Dec 2019, p.13]

    Not only its most promising show to date but one that could serve as a template for future Apple TV+ shows. It’s a good-verging-on-great anthology series with storylines, writing, and casting that could be replicated again and again, allowing Apple to widen its lane while shrinking HBO’s. ... [Octavia Spencer and Aaron Paul] alone are worth the investment of eight hours of your time.

    By nearly halfway through the series we have had only a set of decidedly unoriginal revelations revealed in a deeply pedestrian manner. You can feel the on-screen talent longing to let rip, but the script and the structure and the sense just aren’t there.
