Gary Oldman was originally set to be cast, but he was replaced by Kevin Kline

Scenario

The series follows Catherine Ravenscroft, a TV documentary journalist whose job is to expose the transgressions of long-respected institutions. In several episodes, Jonathon uses the same lens throughout the series, a medium-length telephoto lens.

This series demands your full attention

Such a lens would be unable to focus on close-up subjects such as selfies with Sasha or in the bedroom with Catherine. I rarely leave reviews, but after seeing some of the confusing negative reviews here, I had to share my thoughts.

The direction is exceptional, with Alfonso Cuarón's signature style evident throughout

If you're looking for something to have on in the background while you scroll through your phone, this is not the show for you. His use of long, immersive takes, combined with the actors' stellar performances, excellent sound design, and stunning cinematography, makes for an incredible viewing experience.

If you're still confused, Episode 2 will help clear some things up

It seems like some viewers don't have the patience or focus to follow the plot. Episode 1 throws you right into the action without much exposition, but if you pay close attention to the dialogue and just watch the show, things will start to fall into place.

So far, this series has been fantastic

If it keeps this level of quality until the end, it has the potential to become a cult classic in the years to come.
