I don't get the slams on Nicole Kidman. If she looked her age she would get torn apart for that too. She can't play an older mom but also can't play a younger woman either. It's a no win for her it seems. Anyway, the show is boring and contrived. Characters on almost all levels are unlikable. The show is trying way too hard and too much without putting the work in. The different story lines in ep 5 could've been woven in from the beginning to create more dimension instead of being thrown in. It does a disservice to those stories to do them so poorly and in such a shallow way. However, the snippets I got would've been way more intriguing to me than the original storylines. But the main story lines should've been so maybe it wouldn't have mattered.
