I want to believe...
24 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Or actually not, that the last scenes are part of McCarthy's character new novel which is exactly her kind of writing, that's why it all is so pleasing, almost fulfilling by detail the character's "wishful thinking" while being locked. Now, if so, I like the ambiguity of the shows ending, maybe a deliverance taken for the tv adaptation or maybe also suggested on Moriarty's novel. So you decide the fate of all them. I'd like to take it that way.

Now the show was ok.

I couldn't care less about the couple with the sex problem, and to be honest the only one I truly followed was the family's story, followed by the journalist one.

The rest felt blah to me, specially the one with personality issues and of course the couple to be that you could see happening since min 1 of the first episode.

Kidman's story I hope that reading the novel is more developed.

I like the idea of healing trauma with psychedelics, that's what I take from the show, now being a tv show of course it's taken slightly. I would never accept continuing some kind of therapy where the first thing they do is drugged you without your consent even if it's for the greater good, things start wrong. The guide has to be someone with more experience and with more of back up than just one person for support (Yao). And of course the time of healing I find it hard to believe that your back on your path after a week...

This could've been a a film or a 3 episode limited series, ala british.

Oh! McCarthy's character almost choking in the swimming pool. I almost lost it.

I watched (tried) this mainly because of Annie Potts but doesn't work now. Not funny, I kept how long was left for it to be over. I tried the pilot (bad) and some from season 2, because of Potts.

I finished it, mainly because the story, but this was painful at times. Those times were when Juana Viale spoke, as on when narrating or 'acting'... it was so so bad. Anyone reciting math could be easily more entertaining, with more emotions or at least some depth to it.

She can't hold up 90 mins film by herself, sadly but true. This 3rd episode at least was slightly better than the 2nd, but both uninteresting, dull and messy, well acted though.
