Every time I see them put music to a collage of characters 'goin about their day' as early as the second episode I know they are stretching out an already struggling mess. It's happened twice already in this series, it's the equivalency of hamburger helper and should be used sparingly...and not used to stretch a story from 37 minutes to 52 minutes, really annoying and any fool can see through it. I'm not sure what you officially call it in the movie industry, but I call it hamburger helper. We had violence, then mum (depressing in every film frog mouthed toni collette) pretends to hate child to make her leave for her own protection, she leaves, finds out a whole heap of evidence in a car her mum said to go get, but wouldn't explain it to her over the phone, almost like she was making a tv drama so she wanted it to spread out over 8 episodes, she is followed, after a few other minor things happen, mum tells her to come home again.... I switch off.
Now, the netflix dramas have really gone to crap, I also watched hulu offering 'the dropout', which is about the Elizabeth holmes story, and that was as bad if not worse. Then I watched an old movie with John Candy in it called 'only the lonely', and it was fantastic, simple, classic story line, no special effects, no teenage heart throbs, no violence. It was an eye opener as to how bad the latest offerings are, just churning out cheap garbage. No wonder I stick to true crime docos or old movies.
