No spoilers here, just encouragement to watch the series and form your own view.
There is so much choice on streaming services now, it is hard to separate rubbish from quality. Perhaps, that volume also dulls people's perception?
Some writing and directing spoon feeds a plot in a linear and easy to interpret way. Is that quality? Is that art?
Some people set out stories with people in white hats and black hats. This isn't quite so clear in this case. Our "heros" in this series are flawed. They don't always make the right decisions. Does that make it less good..., or better?
Getting an actress the quality of Jodie Foster is a coup. And episode four allows her to stretch her wings. What are her motivations? What are her reasons for behaving as she does?
All I can say is it's worth your time to watch this and form you own view. In mine, it heads and shoulders above the usual dross being served up on Amazon and Netflix. No, it's not A to B. No, the lead characters are not "pure of heart and soul". Is real life?
