The cinematography, the locations and the score are something else. Good idea, but extremely drawn out. Episode 3 or 4 I figured out the baddie, was suspecting an episode earlier. I am a fan of Oriol previous work, they were all movies mind you, so would stick to a more contained format. Judy episode in particular was way too long and a hard watch, would get the point across in a 15 minute flashback but oh well. Well acted, well shot and again, I really liked the score which elevated the whole thing. Has all the usual tropes but I think they were handled effectively. It's really hard to fool me, which I don't like and when something genuinely takes me for a ride ( something like Behind her eyes, which was a pleasant surprise) I'm all for it. On that topic I even figured out his Invisible Guest twist, and was disappointed since it was recommended to me as a mindblowing twist, alas. This was not the case here, but the first few episodes kept me intrigued. All in all a solid watch, but too long.

Don't know what to tell you. Absolutely nothing that was not telegraphed. Had high hopes, thought it would be a smart Reacher or something like that. Being that I was a fan of Freeman's iteration and even the Perry one, this was a huge miss. Other than Eggold they all felt amateurish. Never got the feeling that Cross was even close to a psychology PHD, easily triggered, rash and immature. Hodge has the range of 2 out of 10,either he's pissed off or pissed off while thinking hard. End doesn't make sense, like they could pick and choose if the bad guy will be charged with one or 11 murders, even though willing to confess, just to make him lose at the whatever the damn game is. Sorely miscast, overacted and every twist visible from a mile away. Hard pass.

PS Just remembered the soundtrack that immediately pulls you out of anything you barely started to feel. Horrible.

Exactly what the title of my review says. This was a safe movie for me to go back to when I was in a really bad place. Just rewatched it, after feeling better for about a decade and even from this perspective it's a really fun movie!
