I wanted to like this so bad. I'm a fan of lulu's farewell, but this was something else entirely. I watched the whole show waiting for it to become something, but it never materialized.

Visually, there was some beautiful photography, but the story was stagnant and lukewarm. The performances were bland, likely because the writing was bad. It played a lot like how you'd imagine a soap opera with a large budget would. It deviated from the book too which might have been a big part of the problem.

There was no resolution at the end. It seemed like the filmmakers wanted us to walk away in the end with some feeling, but i'm not sure what the feeling was. Throughout the show, i felt impatient, antsy, and finally gratitude that it was over.
