While the cast is more than passable (BTH is wonderful as always), and the directing is fine, this style of storytelling is simply not conducive to getting the point across. Three stories from different stages in these characters' lives are interwoven seemingly at random, and regardless of intention, there seems to be no reason for this so far. The scripts feel like they were written for the sole purpose of using a confusing/interesting method of storytelling, and don't feel any deeper than that. And even if it eventually ties together in a compelling way, only one of these three storylines has any intrigue. Perhaps it will right itself later on, but as of now, there isn't much to latch onto.
