It’s quite complicated
Three episodes in, and I can already tell this series isn’t going to be as simple as it first appears.
Trying to form a definite opinion on Big Jane after only three episodes feels almost impossible. We don’t actually know him; we only know the version of him everyone else talks about, and with every episode, that version changes. I’m not saying he’s innocent, because he clearly isn’t. But I also don’t think it’s fair to place every consequence entirely on him when so many of the people pointing fingers knowingly made their own choices. This isn’t a simple case of one villain ruining everyone else’s lives.
The cinematography is beautiful and does an amazing job of building tension. The wardrobe and character styling are also great, and the OST has easily become one of my favourites.
What I appreciate most is the writing. Every episode gives you new information that makes you question what you thought you knew. Whether the story completely subverts our expectations or simply reveals that the truth has been right in front of us all along, I think it’s going to be surprising either way.
Ironically, Little Jane is the character I’m most conflicted about. I find myself questioning his choices more than anyone else’s, and I’m really interested to see where his story goes.
If there’s one thing I’d say before anyone starts watching, it’s this: don’t take everything at face value and don’t assume you already know what’s happening. Trying too hard to force the story into one direction might make you miss what it’s actually trying to show you.
