Enjoyable, light watch but not solid and somewhat confusing

It's enjoyable, light to watch and the actresses are good though characters didn't allow much.

TLDR - The plot relays too much on a supposed backstory, but said backstory is never shown or explained properly. There's a poor intent to do so that just makes it more confusing. Acting wise the actresses do a good job. Production is decent.


The storyline was portrayed in a way that even after 9/10 episodes I'm trying to understand certain aspects of it. Even points it goes over multiple times, it's done by using the resource of a memory, repeating scenes, and it remains unclear and confusing. A lot of watch time is wasted in those scenes that are supposed to bring clarity over their backstory but just don't make sense many times.

[SPOILERS AHEAD]

My main complaint would be about the grief of one of the two main characters is terribly portrayed, or not portrayed at all, which makes no sense specially when the entire plot of the series relays on her loss.

Still wondering what even were those videos they filmed of themselves at the end of each EP.

Highlight: That one scene where a character portraits claustrophobia, great work 👏

[END OF SPOILER]

I'm still missing the las EP, maybe it clarifies everything I'm looking for.
Not bad enough to drop but also not a rewatch.
Excited to see the actresses in other roles, seems like they have more to offer than the characters allowed them to.

Edit: Watched the last EP, though it's a decent ending, it still did not clarify basically anything. The final itself isn't fantastic, but it's also not terrible. It was resolved fairly good for what seems to be limited time and budget.

My main takeaway is that the story itself has a lot of potential, but it also has a lot going on, it's hard (and wasn't really accomplished on these 10 EPs) to show all the story has to offer and needs to show in order to make use and show it's potential.
