This is a pretty good movie. The directing, acting and cinematography is all excellent. Hugh Grant obviously puts in a great performance, and Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East put in a good performance too.
The introduction sets up the protagonists (Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East) well - as two orthodox and seemingly naive Mormon evangelists - then quickly moves into the main acts. This progresses very well as the plot thickens and the characters develop.
However, I do think the ending is a bit convoluted and strains credulity - and begins to resemble a "Saw" movie. When it should have remained a grounded, psychological crime thriller.

This is a good series - good scripts, good acting - but it is undermined by poor editing - it's dragged out for 30 episodes as a drama - which begins to feel like it's being played out in real time!
When it should have been condensed into a 6-episode sci-fi thriller.
600 words remaining. Oh my!
What does a good sci-fi need?
Complexity: The story should be able to transport the reader to a different world and have a complex fictional world. Nuance: The story should have a deeper meaning or message that is not immediately apparent. Imagination: The story should be imaginative and explore new ideas and concepts.
