SJFlann The visual images are stunning. Give time (3 days) to take it in. The mystery has to get into your bones like the summer smell and heat of a forest. It may not work for someone wanting a quick "who-dunnit". The anguish in these characters' minds clicked into place for me. Like in life, some survived, some did not. Thank you to cast and crew.
samuel-lewis12 So was this a comedy or a serious drama? Hard to say. One minute this show had series drama and dialogue. The next minute the show went all over the place and was impossible to take seriously. This is probably the wiredeat show I've ever watched. The transitions, the music, it didn't flow. I have to say the costumes and setting was authentic but the drama was overall confusing.
Jonesy I found Natalie Dormers acting quite compelling, but she couldn't rescue the increasingly worsening affair. I barely made it through the second episode. Perhaps with less jittering, tilting, swaying, blurriness and the use of a steady cam I could actually be persuaded to keep watching. Or maybe without some of the over-the-top acting, weird senseless psychadelic scenes, annoyingly modern music, the overall attempt to add ill-suited swag and with an actual story, well, then perhaps.. But alas, this was not for me. Have high hopes for the movie, thanks for the advice.
liz-wallace-80602 When I caught first glimpse of this series, I was definitely interested. Once I began watching it, i fell in love with it. It's a beautiful, artistic, surreal series and experience. It tells so much through not only words but what's spoken through eyes and cinematography. The style is unique and visionary; a truly remarkable piece. I'm very impressed and I wish there was more.
