New 8 hour long ep mini series where Clair Danes can be all insane. She plays a Pulitzer Prize winning author who’s had years of writers block after her son was killed in by a drunk driver and her wife left her. Rhys Davis plays an asshole tycoon who moves in Jeff door and may have killed his previous wife.
It’s a decent thriller although a tad heavy on the nerve wracking violin soundtrack. It all hinges on Danes over the top performance and she’s great at playing mentally disturbed characters. I like it so far…

Just 2 more eps to go which I’ll probably finish tomorrow night.
The scenes between Clair & Rhys are fire. It’s a tense show - been keeping me on edge throughout. A solid thriller and so much Carrie cry face (IYKYK). There’s quite a Homeland vibe even though this is such a different story. The twistiness and the deceptions make it so. Both Stacy & I are enjoying it but we both loved Homeland.

That was excellent. Totally stuck the landing. Well worth the watch if you like twisting thrillers. Hitchcockian with modern sensibilities. We both enjoyed it. And it’s not a cliffhanger ending teasing season 2. It’s a complete tale and every puzzle piece falls into place. At the end, we kinda wished Aggie was an incarnation of Carrie (of Homeland, not Stephen King).
