Losing Alice

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.

This pulled me in, then ended up as a train wreck. I actually stopped watching the last episode. I am walking away from this, without understanding the conclusion, BECAUSE I DON'T CARE. Seriously, the last two episodes became idiotic.

"Sophie" is NEVER particularly "interesting." She is supposed to be some "Lolita." She's basically an annoying "millennial."

It really angers me, when I waste my time watching a series like this. It started out fantastic, then just butchered it all.

Again, A TOTAL waste of time, Apple+.

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.

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.

This series was compelling, even though it confused and disturbed me at times. One troubling feature was the relationship between David and his mother. What the hell was that all about? Every adult in this film is messed up. But it was still intriguing enough, that I binged all of it in a day and a half.
