Strong Premise, Inconsistent Execution
This one felt a bit uneven for me, and I’m still not entirely sure how I feel about it. I started off intrigued—the storytelling was unique, and I liked the sense of mystery around what happened to the sister. The gradual reveals and flashbacks worked well for me, almost like peeling back layers, and they helped me connect with the characters.
However, once part of the truth came out, I found myself underwhelmed. The impact didn’t really land, and the pacing felt off. That unevenness continued for a while, until after the halfway point when other characters and their intersecting storylines were introduced. At that stage, the family’s psychology became more central, and the themes grew heavier. Each episode became increasingly dark, leading up to a full reveal that did match the emotional weight of what the family had endured.
So, on one hand, I think the pacing weakened the narrative, and some of the subplots felt dry or anticlimactic. On the other, the overall story was pretty wild, and some of the performances were impressive. Ultimately, though, the execution didn’t fully land for me, and I struggled to stay invested in events that were treated with more gravity than I personally felt they had.
