Alice & Jack (2023)
Wonderful acting but a toxic love story

The acting in this show is wonderful, and overall the writing is strong. BUT Alice is such a toxic presence in Jack's life that I feel incredible disgust at the writers' attempts to make me feel sympathy for her. Yes, she has had a rough life, but that doesn't give her license to yank Jack around. As she says, he's sensitive and the world eats up sensitive types. She warns him in the first episode! I think he's drawn to her not out of actual love but because she's guarded, dysfunctional, and mysterious. He's trying to crack her just as he finds possible cures for diseases in his lab.
I' going to continue watching, but this show is stirring up so many memories of my worst relationships.
