is this really that good ??


I am considering binge watching

Yes, yes it is. The show has it's flaws, but the main reason this is so good is Tatiana Malsany, and you SHOULD watch it. You gotta see her impeccable acting. :)

thank you

Tell me how it goes.

Just two cents tho, i considered stopping the show at episode 3. I thought the main plot would be about cops and such blatant mystery. I am so glad i didn't stop watching it, because it gets real interesting and mind blowing once you get into her acting. I have watched the first 3 seasons multiple times now. I used to stop in the middle of an episode and repeat scenes over and over, or was just putting my hands up in awe of her brilliance. She is insanely good, and the storytelling is pretty decent and compelling.

thanks again - I will update as I get into it.

Everything Natasha said plus:

I think the support cast is fantastic as well, especially Felix and Donnie (Jordan and Kristian), but also Siobhan and Art and others. Plus, we get to see Kira (Skyler) really grow into her role.

Also, like any good TV these days, it has a strong / complex story arc that gets you sucked in so much that you can't leave the show unless it gets bad. This one is still good.

So did you binge watch it and if so what did you think ?

reply

I never did. Have you seen it??

Yeah like a sucker I got invested in season one which is very good and then stuck with it through the next increasingly feeble four seasons. Tatiana Maslany is nothing short of amazing in the show. But if you want my advice then just watch the first season and leave it at that. The writers only had enough material for one season and the rest was increasingly incoherent filler.

Yeah. You should check it out. I'm almost done with season 2. It moves at a pretty steady pace. Always has just enough to keep you from getting bored.
