So.. Kidman... who is in her mid/late 50's but looks 70... somehow seems to appear in these overly pretentious, vacuous, productions that appear to be made by the rich for the rich. There's no "real life" anywhere here. It's a slow moving, dreadful story. All disclosure is trickled out in bits and pieces between overly morose heavy drama scenes related to largely unlikable characters. Any semblance of a straightforward story would make this a 20 minute short, not an 8 episode series.

I watched roughly 1-3/4 episodes of this series then just couldn't fathom WHY I should continue watching - fast forwarded to the end of episode 2 so I could see what the "terrible thing" was (it wasn't as bad as it's made out to be)....and I was done with this series.

There's nothing I find remotely compelling after the first 2 episodes. Characters are shallow, mostly unlikable, and absolutely uninteresting. Given the exposure in the monologue opening of episode one, then the explanation at the end of episode two.. I don't know what more there could possibly be to this series. Other than long morose, heavy, drama scenes with Kidman trying so hard to gain sympathy.. which I feel she has never done well, ever.

I don't understand production companies that spend money on dreadful, unentertaining, morose things such as this series. And to be honest, I don't understand the mindsets of those that wish to view such content - I mean.. do some viewers want to be depressed???

I find Kidman actually painful to watch in this. For overly saturated drama... she's not pulling it off in any sort of believable manner.

Clearly this production is expecting viewers to be as droll and uninteresting as the story on screen and expects them to stick around... because NOTHING in the first two episodes is interesting or compelling - all one needs is the first 5 minutes of episode one, and the last 5 minutes of episode two - theres the story. Done.. It is, in short.. depression in visual form.
