With only 5 reviews in so far, the response is sharply divided. Praise centres on Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal, the glossy style and twists that keep the story moving despite its absurdities. Reservations concern plot holes, thin characterisation and misdirection that strains belief. Even the leads’ chemistry divides opinion: Collider finds their emotional history involving, while The Hollywood Reporter sees little connection and insufficient momentum. The ending produces a similar split, with Variety praising its treatment of societal biases and The Hollywood Reporter finding it inept. The disagreement largely concerns whether the surprises justify the implausibility.
The series is a frustrating whodunit riddled with plot holes and illogical twists that squanders its cast and source material. It fails to build atmosphere or explore its characters meaningfully despite strong leads.
