A crime drama about a missing woman and the detectives, family members, and friends involved. It sounds familiar, I know, and maybe the unique feature (watching from different perspectives) doesn't sound worthwhile, I understand. But this plays out like no other crime drama I have seen recently, perhaps ever, and it is the best show I've seen in a good while.
First off, it's Steven Soderbergh producing & directing. In addition to the many great movies under his belt, he also created a fantastic, unique 2-season TV show called The Knick. So the camera work, photography, lighting, and editing are all outstanding.
Second, Mosaic runs like a great 6-hour play, but utilizes true detective S1 style time jumps. Virtually the entire show is dialogue. This only works with great actors & a great script, and this show has both. The characters are as 3-dimensional as they can get.
I would say more, but hesitate as I don't want to even trends towards a spoiler. Mosaic stood out from everything else on TV these days, and if you appreciate 'good' shows, do not miss this one.
