Poorly written - who green-lit this?
It's not highbrow, it's not clever, it's not indie or artsy - it's just bad. Badly written, badly acted - even by the great Kate Winslet. You know a script is bad when the opening lines rely on heavy swearing to try and get laughs (not a titter from me). There are lots of familiar faces from things that do make me laugh and yet every one gives such an awkward performance it made me cringe. It's still early days for Apple TV and it feels like they are green-lighting a lot of stuff they don't really understand but are hoping finds an audience. I don't know who this will land with but it certainly didn't with me.
