Three episodes into this show and already I've had enough. The whole wallowing in self pity and flashbacks to the traumatic past are laboured, tedious and make up far too much of the show. I'm OK with a non-linear storyline but when it's so boring and takes an eternity to tell you what you've already guessed it's annoying. It feels like I've spend an hour watching the lead character either asleep, waking up or driving around in her car to little effect. I don't know why this has turned out to be such a tirdburger but it certainly is one!
Whilst the larger plot may be based on historical events this show is a drama dropped into that overall narrative. The characters are 2 dimensional, each one making a pathetic attempt to talk with an accent that they couldn't be bothered to perfect. This is fast paced but nothing actually happens, character development is paper thin. With the resources put into this it could have been something great. Judge it alongside something like Deadwood and this is like a babys first attempt at a poop compared to a 5lb turd!
This movie sucks, not just on one level, it sucks right across the board. the soundtrack is like it's been stolen from a cheesy 1970's sitcom. Despite the cast containing some names that are well known and have decent bodies of work. Quite what they thought when they were making this steaming pile bull waste will remain a mystery I guess. I can say it's only redeeming feature is that it wasn't 1 minute longer than it was. I wonder if this was made as a dare or a bet, it is a little like a cheap porn movie with all the sex scenes removed. The plot in theory sounds OK but 10 minutes in you don't really give a number two, all the characters seem to be miscast. The cast contains some character actors that have made great villains, they're all playing the cheesy roles. The lead character being being a nobody with a huge comedy wig doesn't help take this seriously. Steer clear, cleaning your oven would be more fun.
