...and it sucked. I saw the reviews saying to watch episode 2 first but it ruined some of the mystery of episode 1. I like trying to figure out what's going on. I don't feel confused when the storyline is told a little out of place and I don't believe I would have if I'd just watched it the way it was intended to be watched. I wished I had just trusted the process. So, don't do that if you don't mind a slow burn and enjoy trying to piece things together.
Also, people are saying there are no likable characters. I can understand that but I actually like Hilary. Not because she's self important, snooty, and stuck up, but because she's who she is and not trying to pretend to be something she's not. David is wanting a change in his life but unwilling to accept the woman he married for who she just is. He's so focused on trying to change himself and her...and if that's not going his way he's self destructive. I think it's still a beautiful story. That's what it's about. Seeing how these people are all facing their own personal challenges and being self destructive in the process, but not completely giving up... just desperate for some freakin peace, love and joy.
I don't have an issue with Nicole Kidman. She's excellent. She plays the character well so far. That's ridiculous that people are so focused on her appearance. She's not Mickey Rourke for crying out loud. She's still beautiful to me.
