With all my love to Reese, just no
22 April 2020
I was excited to watch it at first as I loved Big Little Lies and had some particular trust to Reese W. and the product she's making. First episodes were ok, I thought it's a warm up for some significant plot twist or whatever, but no miracle happened. As many viewers mentioned, Kerry Washington is extremely unpleasant to watch, which makes it confusing - either the character is seriously lacking depth or it's just about bad acting? Or both? She's always looking like someone farted in her face, and honestly Mia's actions are neither justified nor empathized by her motives. Of course, there is no good or bad guy, the story is about that no mother is perfect no matter what, however she just doesn't call any emotions but disgust. With all my respect to Reese Witherspoon, nothing good can happen when you choose and create roles for yourself, as it gets repetitive and looses artistic value. Five stars for the teen actors, they did some amazing job.
