I have watched the first 4 episodes so far.
I agree with every single review here. So why are they so polarized?
Yes the cinematography is stunning. Yes the scenery is breathtaking. Yes the acting is wonderful and yes the plot is edge of your seat twisty...
But it is also over the top, makes me want to gag, long drawn out scenes that verge on, "where is the fast forward button" and outright confusion at times.
I think it has potential and may just need time to find its sweet spot. As a mini series it may not ever find it.
The bottom line is that it clearly is not for everyone. If you like artsy, mysterious, movies, you will probably love this. And if you prefer a more direct, fast paced, drama you probably won't.
Hope this helps.
