Losing Alice

Stick to Adam Sandler movies, leave the good stuff to people who understand it. This is definitely the good stuff; intense, with superb acting and directing, Losing Alice is the total package. It does give off Lynchian vibes and in the best way - it's not nonsensical and never too meandering, it's a tightly plotted and complete story. There are multiple unforgettable scenes and I know I'll be replaying them in my mind for months to come; in short, this is an amazing show.

I just watched the first three episodes and I can't wait for more. The acting is superb. The storyline is provocative and engaging. I'm so glad AppleTV is streaming this show. It's beautifully done and I really hope it gets the recognition it deserves. I've always loved Ayelet Zurer. She's an actress of immeasurable talent and a captivating beauty. I recently watched her play Milada Horáková in the film Milada. Her performance in this movie blew me away.

The bad reviews are bewildering to me. It's like there's an agenda to bring down this series. Watched Defending Jacob before this, which got high 7s, and I literally fast forwarded through half of it. Presumed Innocent, another Apple TV series with high 7s, miserably slow and boring. Those shows pale in comparison to Losing Alice, which does everything right that they do wrong.

It's subtle, well paced, cerebral, atmospheric, multidimensional, absorbing and thought provoking. It has an interesting premise. It views like a really well made film. It kept my interest and made me think and feel. The other shows must be for the masses (enough with the hackneyed dark lighting!) This is for those who truly appreciate complexity in filmmaking.

Fantastic script and acting, fascinating story. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion. You just know it's not going to end well but you must keep watching. Give it a try.

The progression of the Israeli production keeps improving but, still far far away from a quality level production.. i would admit that Ayelet Zurer's acting is the only thing that kept me going watching the show, she is a good actor that shines and makes me forget the the show does not fully takes me there. The rest of the cast is ok but nothing to get over excited acting wise. The concept is good but could have done much better.

The lighting has no sense of mood in most cases and story telling, the location choice is just not working for the desired motives and suspense and seam like whatever was available to shoot in. Mediocre cinematography and camera work. Good concept but low budget execution.
