Synopsis
It follows Catherine Ravenscroft, a television documentary journalist whose job is to expose the wrongdoings of long-respected institutions. In several episodes, Jonathon uses the same lens throughout the series, a medium-length telephoto lens.
This show requires your full attention
Such a lens would not be able to focus on close subjects like selfies with Sasha or in the bedroom with Catherine. I rarely write reviews, but after seeing some surprising negatives here, I had to share my thoughts.
The direction is excellent, and Alfonso Cuaron’s signature style is evident throughout
If you’re looking for something in the background while scrolling on your phone, this is not the show for you. The use of long, immersive takes combined with great performances from the cast, excellent sound design, and stunning cinematography make for an incredible viewing experience.
If you’re still confused, Part 2 will help clear some things up
Some viewers don’t seem to have the patience or concentration to follow the plot. Episode 1 jumps straight into the action without much exposition, but if you pay close attention to the dialogue and just watch the show, things start to fall into place.
So far this show has been fantastic
If it maintains this level of quality until the end, it could become a cult classic for years to come.
