Never read the book, so judging the series as a standalone. The series is way too long, stretched way too much. It was intriguing and mysterious for the first few episodes, but by episode five, I was like, "Oh my god, just conclude it already.". Catherine's silence/constantly being interrupt while trying to tell her side feels like just a plot mechanism to keep the story going. Clearly setting up for a "twist".
The constant, detailed sex scenes are just ew. Literally porn. I don't mind sex scenes, but if I want to watch "detailed" sex scenes that last ten minutes, my first choice for that would not be Apple TV+.

I really liked the style and tone of the movie. Although, Some characters were frustrating to watch, making questionable decisions or lacking depth, which took away from the immersion at times.
The director makes an interesting choice with both the tone and cinematography, creating a visually interesting and cool looking film. It was engaging and enjoyable, with humor that didn't feel forced and a few genuinely funny moments. The use of lighting was effective, and the unique score fit well.
The plot near the end does feel a bit rush, and unsatisfying, the pacing, while mostly solid, had moments that felt uneven.

There are far too many applause breaks for moments that aren't particularly funny or noteworthy. The narrative about being 'kicked out of' show business doesn't land when she's literally here on Netflix with a multi-million dollar deal. Clearly, despite the controversy, companies still willing to pay for her work, it's ultimately within her power to remain in or step away from show business.
I was hoping to hear her side of the controversy, or at least how she would weave it into her routine, but instead, she skims over the issue without offering much insight or depth. The constant jumping from topic to topic with no clear link makes the special feel disjointed and unfocused. It lacks the depth or insight that I expected, leaving the entire show feeling more like a ramble than a cohesive stand-up performance.
