What/If

I wanted to like this but unfortunately I've wasted nearly 10 hours of my life. As someone else wrote, you feel like you're watching three different shows and none of them were worth watching. This show should have focused on the biotech story rather than branching off into tangents thinly held together by minor actors.

Think of all the amazing things you could do with 10 hours, and then do those things instead.

I love the intrigue in this show and Renee Zellweger plays a brilliant part. She definitely carries the show and is magentic on screen. I dont take any notice of reviews and like to form my own opinions. The only thing that irks me is that the storylines for the gay relationship and the residents affair etc dont seem to be relevant to the story and the main story would still continue without these characters. On episode 6 and Im waiting for it to come together some how. Despite that its worth watching to see Renee in a different roll than weve seen her play and she plays powerful tortured, lonely, cruel and intriguing very well indeed.

This started out promisingly enough but went straight downhill around the third episode. Being the masochist I am I watched the entire season, but it got worse and more preposterous as it unfolded.

The writing and acting are awful. Jane Levy, who I remember fondly as the daughter in Suburgatory, is simply dreadful in the lead. The others are all similarly awful. That includes Renee Zellweger.

The writers also wove in way too many subplots. This hot mess was all over the place.

Everyone looked good and the locations were nice, but overall this was a miss. I still give it five stars for effort. What was Netflix thinking?

I found this series pretty gripping with lots of twists and turns. People are complaining that there are three plots going on, why is that such a problem? All the plots and characters intertwine and form part of the whole. I usually prefer horror and science fiction, but this kept me interested until the end. I noticed that people who are criticising this say they kept fast forwarding through the bits they didn't like. Maybe people don't have the patience to watch complex plots anymore. Ok, some of it is a bit unbelievable at times, but aren't most things on tv nowadays. I enjoyed it anyway, not saying it's the best thing on tv or anything, but it certainly kept me wanting to watch the next episode. I fail to see why some people disliked it so much. For me, it was a pretty decent thriller.

The only good thing about this is seeing Renee Zellweger in a role that is so unlike her and she pulls it off well. Until somewhere into the 4th or 5th episode they turn her into a caricature. Then it all goes downhill. The subplots had zero to add to the story. Coul've turned out better. Unfortunately it didn't. Worth watching while doing the laundry 'cause you have the TV on anyway. Not something to sit and watch and give it your full-on time and attention.
