Imagine Hallmark Cards trying to make "Happy Valley" - a far better show on the same lines. We get face shots starting too soon and held to long, for emoting. Acting that is at best competent and at worst can't overcome the direction and goes wooden and stagey. Plot points reiterated so that everyone will get it and know what's coming. Music telling us what to feel, when to be worried etc.

The current 8.5 rating on this is astonishing and far too high. Watch "Ozark" for real quality. Or "Better Call Saul"; or "Happy Valley"; or any of many others.
