First 2 or 3 episodes does it's job well following all the travesties faced by a young girl in the hands of several people who she trusted blindly. As the show progressed they made us believe it would be a revenge drama with plot serving getting back at this horrible people for their misdoings but then it swerved and took a whole new direction.
If you think the showrunners or writers were trying to be clever to connect these two that would never happen. Characters seem lost. They once were driven by money, fame and power now seem to be chasing something they have no idea, audience has no idea either like the things that they do why they do it.
I kept watching it in the hopes that it would get better or there maybe some kind of redemption, at the end I felt like the series was ridiculous and wished I had stopped watching after 5th episode.
Twists and surprises are confusing and ridiculous, and it feels like someone's fever dream was wrote into a screenplay.
Just horrible.
