When Michael seems determined not to give in to the lie of incriminating himself for a crime he didn't commit, Kathleen seems to ramble on appearances and her lack of economic solvency. Kathleen explodes, in a tragicomic scene, when she realizes that her dreams are broken. But the misery is broken by the intensity of Kat and Michael's "celebratory dinner," rising to a maelstrom of emotions and cries of reproach. As if that were not enough, Michael, culminates in a kind of therapy, flying to the sound of the opera, while the lights turn on and off. Simply beautiful. A final cry is a cry of triumph and relief.

Great show, overstayed its welcome.

Another opening scene discussing retrials and Alford pleas! The show is running in circles repeating the same material in laboriously minute detail and going nowhere.
The first half (episodes 1 - 4) is engaging, entertaining and enjoyable, but it has now gone on too long. It is like a half-baked version of Groundhog Day with a heavy non-linear, repeating loop and has become dour and dreary.
Juliette Binoche is the standout of the back half, but she is unable to rescue it from itself.
The whole thing should have been condensed to six episodes for a more compact and compelling narrative.
