Built for Binge Watching

Not an amazing show, but it certainly kept me watching by the end of each episode.

Unfortunately the production of the show is just weak across the board. Not AWFUL, just weak. I want to say the story is strong enough to cover for it, but I don't think that's really the case. The story overall is fine, but has definite problems. The timeline, the motivations, etc.

But the show is very strong at creating intrigue. Each episode ends in a way that you just need to see what happens. What something means. How something plays out. The show was built for binge watching. All the little cliffhangers/hooks to keep you clicking to the next episode. There were also some good little twists where a character was actually successfully sneaky, tricking both the other characters, AND me as a viewer. Those were nice surprise moments.

I had a good enough time. We never really get to know any of the characters. The timeline of events is too short for the romance to feel earned. The wins characters get also don't feel earned because there's not really anything they DID to get answers. It's kind of just a prolonged dangerous standstill. But it kept me just intrigued enough to keep going for 8 episodes.
