It's hard to take this show seriously, especially when the character Elizabeth speaks...I finally realised - she sounds like Moira from Schitts Creek when she does her weird accent trying to buy a car. It unintentionally turns the show into a comedy. At least a laugh is a welcome break from the tedious plot. A carefully curated slow moving show can be riveting, this is...well, boring. Churning out a lot of yawn worthy and trivial tropes, between more odd accents and attempting to draw out "secrets" that are unsurprising and lazy. More than one accent in the show changes within a sentence, creating a sense of disorientation in terms of where the story is meant to be set or where the hell anyone is from.
Obviously the expectation for celebrities to remain youthful looking is unreasonable and sad. I apologise to the actress, as I don't mean to be picking on her, but again, Noomi Rapace, who plays Elizabeth, has clearly overdone the cheek filler to the point that it is obviously misshapen in the first episode. Getting filler to the point of deformity and a very unnatural shape is sad to see.
The best part about the show is the surprise (to me) appearance of Abigail Thorn, of Philosophy Tube renown. Abigail shines in her role and breaks up the otherwise lacklustre performances.
I am struggling through episode 3 and really finding it hard to continue to see it out.
