Narrative
It follows Catherine Ravenscroft, a television documentary journalist whose work is built on exposing the wrongdoings of long-respected institutions.. Gary Oldman was originally rumored to be cast, but was replaced by Kevin Kline.. You’ve never read the book, so rating the series a standalone. The string is too long, too long. It was intriguing and mysterious for the first few episodes, but by episode five, I was like, “God, just end it for once.” Her silence/constant interruption as she tries to speak for her part just seems like a plot device to further the story. Obviously a “twist” is brewing. Constant and detailed sex scenes are just new. Literally pornography. I don’t mind sex scenes, but if I want to see “detail”; sex scenes that last ten minutes, my first choice for that would not be Apple TV+.
