At the moment ( 4th episode) I suspend my judgement.
In the first episode the love story are set and they are very unspecific. The parallele between Appolo and his father's harassment method of seduction without knowing anything about the women they chase is obviously written from a male point of view (which is very dated) since the beginning the story has taken the turn of a weird/horror folk tale and that's what catches my interest. It depicts really well the consequences of secrets and family madness ( where psychoanalysis would be much more efficient than medicines and behavioural therapy ( but that's another debate), I do hope that the mysteries won't turn into a bunch of clichés but into something out of dream logic letting us out of the male gaze to enter in the antic weirdness of pagan dreams.
