I binged this - which is pretty easy since it's 2 seasons of 5 episodes each. But each episode is filled with so much, every scene matters, and intense emotions. Each episode is 60 minutes but feels like more - wonderfully more. Watching this was an absolute treat. I can't remember the last time I unabashedly empathized for a character so much.
I do want to say that with its plot as well as the "A Woman Scorned" subtitle, it seems like there would be more revenge, but there isn't. I empathized for the character so much that I wanted some just revenge but that's not as prevalent as it would seem. There are some moments of revenge type behavior, but only small doses. The show is extremely methodical.
The main character Gemma is so well-written and real feeling. She's multidimensional. We see her past, present, herself, her marriage, her motherhood, and her trying to find herself among the pieces all over again.
This show packs so many punches to the gut and doesn't hold back.
It's. So. Good.
