Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

altereggonyc I give this film a very poor grade not because it was bad but because it seems unfinished. It's like a home renovation in which the contractor walked off the job after doing most of it. The first five episodes were first rate, and it was well on its way to being a very satisfying whodunit. Then it fell off a cliff. It had snappy dialogue, interesting subplots, a murder with a few suspects, and a relatable police detective who seemed intent on solving the mystery and unearthing local corruption. It had a layered feeling, like The Killing, in which the crime leads to suspects at higher and higher levels. But then... nothing.Did the actor who played the police investigator quit the show? How else to explain how he vanished just when key revelations about the crime and local corruption emerged? It's certainly not consistent with his character. Then there's the crusading amateur hellbent on exposing the real killer, who just goes home after solving the crime, knowing that an innocent man remains in prison. It's very abrupt and not consistent with her character. Several other characters behave illogically in the final episodes. The series needed a different ending and/or maybe one more episode to allow the characters to finish what they started.Boo. Hiss.

sywine This was a huge surprise; I had started watching inattentively, letting three recorded episodes play while I made party preparations. Somewhere along the line it occurred to me I should start over and pay attention. The structure is clever, which you won't notice until you're 2/3 of the way through, and you won't realize how incredible the acting is until you figure things out a bit. Devin Ratray's performance, initially very understated, BLEW MY MIND. The ensemble acting crackles and snaps. And the story just works. The subject material, about a rich cougar and the inevitable hang-abouts, could put people off but I know the sea- and ski crowd and this is an exceedingly accurate portrayal.

ildsol At first the camera work and editing can seem underwhelming. It felt strangely 'distanced', or observing, compared to what one has come to expect from today's fiction. But, given time, the show grew on me with its intriguing, though slightly confusing story line, and its interesting characters. But it will not be everyones cup of tea. Not all hints, plot elements and dialogue seem to go somewhere. Emphasis on characters change unexpectedly, as do perspectives and general direction. The style of the series feels a bit like observing events around you in real life where things are not easily interpreted, but none the less interesting enough for you to keep looking. For me, this style gave the show a touch of realism that made it enjoyable, even refreshing. Like its titular object, the series is a mosaic of sorts with odd fragments beginning to come together as you watch the story unfold.

Luke2222 From the beginning, it seemed intriguing. I loved how series started exploring life of Olivia before her death, I loved that we found out a lot of things about her life. However, it was too slow and there might have been many unnecessary moments. As the story progresses after Olivia's death, show becomes better. I liked Petra dynamics. However, most suspects were offscreen, they were mentioned but not shown. Not sure how to feel about that. It became a lot better than the beginning at the end but somehow the writers managed to mess improvement up. The ending was unrealistic. First, Joel's confession. Sure, he had some problems in past but his memories came OUT OF NOWHERE. Even if he didn't remember what he was doing/where he was at the time Olivia was murdered, it made 0 sense. And the second thing that didn't make sense. Petra. She was honestly my favorite character. She was fighting to prove her brother's innocence so hard, and all of sudden she's OK with Joel going to jail after his confession even though she knows he is innocent. It just doesn't make sense. Suddenly she doesn't care anymore. I understand Joel is no one for her but I don't buy that after all that, she couldn't care less. Alan suddenly became very supportive of Petra. That didn't make much sense either. There were many unnecessary moments that just confused me as a viewer. We never saw what happened to Joel, or even Eric (I think he should have appeared in the finale, even for a minute maybe), also that lead detective. I disliked last scene because it was out of context. Did Petra get inspired with Olivia's work all of sudden? Taking consideration things mentioned above, it was an average show, boring at times. Peaked in 3-5 episodes but as I said above, finale completely destroyed improvement after first two episodes. The worst thing for me is the UNREALISTIC ending, which made me regret watching the show.
