I had about two glasses of wine and could not make it through the first episode. It was and is a snore fest. The accent of Anna...I love Julia Garner, but this was not the role for her. Anna and her have extremely different body types and why not use an actual Russian actress to portray Anna. I don't understand- this came off like a lifetime movie. I will not be finishing this show. Netflix needs to stop using the same actors for everything and venture out of their limitations. They are getting very repetitive. I don't want to see the ozark cast or stranger things cast on different shows multiple times. Please hire more actors to actually portray people that it is believable. Seeing Julia portray a supposedly busty Russian woman who had body issues.... Was just not good casting. Julia Garner is slim. Anna was reported to be having issues with staying thin and paid for a private trainer - why use Julia to portray someone like this... right when the show started I felt that using someone hour glassed would have made this more believable. Also the accent of Anna came off slightly annoying.... Just my two cents.

The show started out slow in the first episode...However, the deeper you go the more it wows you. I truly enjoyed this drama. Everyone acted great and it really pulled at my heartstrings. I even did the ugly cry a few times. It was just THAT good... I wish the show was longer as it was just too short for my liking, but we can't have everything we want. The show is definitely a must watch.
