Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

ali-278-412957 Pointless ending, absolute waste of time. Too many loose ends, don't waste you time on this!!

con_au Knowing that this was a piece of Soderbergh experimentation, with a companion app allowing the viewer/player to do a 'choose your own adventure' plot line, I was intrigued to find out how the tv version would render with its forced plot line. The answer is - very very badly. Fans of Soderbergh's styling will be rewarded, but the limits of time and the impossibility to explore multiple plot directions hacks the screen version to bits, leaving gaping holes in the plot and character arcs. It's a shame - for my liking the production, script and performances were all on point. Soderbergh rarely gives us a hero, and it's hard to love or even care about some of the pivotal characters, especially the always watchable Sharon Stone in the role of a children's fiction writer (!!!), but there's enough levity and heart in the peripheral characters to have kept me invested. As other reviewers have noted, the conclusion won't satisfy many people. It didn't satisfy me. In fact, I presumed that there must be more episodes still to come. As anti-climaxes go, it's real heavy on the 'anti'. Plot threads and characters disappear. Improbable and inexplicable choices are made. It's rushed and messy and ultimately inconclusive. Unresolved endings leave you either dying to hook up with your mates to unravel the 'what ifs', or they leave you slack-jawed, shaking your fist at the telly as your eyes roll out of your head. I think most people will, sadly, end up in the latter category.

lcarey-31912 At times, confusing and some dialogue just did not make sense and left too many unanswered questions. Not up to the HBO standard.

karen-heffernan I was excited to watch this series. I've never been disappointed in a HBO series before, and I love Soderbergh, but I barely got through the first episode. The characters were extremely low energy and the dialogue was monotonous. Certainly not a thriller, I didn't give a damn about anyone. I gave it 2 stars for the beautiful scenery, but that's it.
