This show is a struggle to watch. Example, the seemingly interminable opening this week. Yep, I get the "deep artistic " attempt, but it's pretty to look at but actually just eats up time. It's as bad as the WWII film by Terrance Malik, The Thin Red Line. It also had long, long shots of scenery to no point.
And I still detest the acting by the Character Lilly. She's as animated as a stump of wood. Now that quiet reflective thing can be done to great effect...just watch Clint Eastwood in his early westerns. But he managed to convey something without saying much. Lilly conveys nothing to me.
This is a show I want to love but damn if it doesn't try to send me away.
