Tries too hard. Falls flat. It's done is a way you feel there is some depth underneath and you keep watching thinking it'll get better and before you know it, you are 4 episodes in and you just want to finish what you started. Characters are boring, act and do things which would be extremely dumb and somehow get away with it, the detective is useless and for how often you are shown scenes of people taking photographs, nobody seems to care to ask to see pictures of Ripley or Richard. The painter Carvagio parallels feel unnecessary and edgy. Then they have the nerve to show flashbacks to tell the audiance what's going on, as if it wasn't obvious already. Seems like this is set in a 1960s alternate dimension where every single person is braindead including the overly smug and charmless Ripley.
