Expectations too high
The production value was quite good as to be expected from a Netflix original series. The acting, particularly the 2 MLs and the female antagonist was also strong. The music was good but not outstanding.
Unfortunately the story was not well executed. The first couple of episodes started strong to set things up. The issue in my opinion was there were too many sub-plots and characters that could not sufficiently be detailed out and developed better into the main story. Perhaps there was too much to get to in only 8 episodes. Maybe it could have been better with a full 16 episodes but I was struggling to maintain interest at Episode 5. At that point onwards the story unfortunately plays out predictably with very few twists.
The ending of episode 6 was quite good and satisfying however from that point onwards I felt 7 & 8 was really more of the same as we already saw but quickly tieing a few loose ends. The oustanding ending to 6 basically had no consequence to the rest of the story.
Hard to recommend this one. From a similar genre The World of the Married and Eve are vastly superior.
Overall disappointed as Netflix has produced some fantastic original series but this is not one of them.
