Wether the show is your cup of tea or not doesn't matter when it comes to the supposed lead character.

I just couldn't find myself sympathize with her. The reason for that might be that her acting is just plain bad.

One could argue that her stiffness oder sadness is a part of the story but I find it just soooo annoying to watch.

The cast in general is great and acts great.

For example in episode six there is conversation between Katie and Lily which makes me cringe just thinking about it. Alison Pill is great but Sonoya Mizuno is just not up for it. I'm sorry.

She ruined the show a bit for me.

Not a good casting choice.

I could talk about the philosophical approach this show has but I rather do that with friends I can argue with what the show is really about.

If you like Alex Garland you will like this too.

Great show, miscast lead.
