Erin Dougherty, Stephen Graham, Ashley Walters - It's like the cast of "Adolesence" does Charles Dickens. Brilliant actors and brilliant storytelling 👏🏾

I just binged all 10 epispdes in one sitting today and really enjoyed it. I love high caliber courtroom drama, but this wasn't it. Lol. This show was purely for the lavish eye candy. I went into it with zero expectations of KKs acting and she delivered exactly, so no disappointment there. I was mainly excited to watch Niecy Nash, Glenn Close and Naomi Watts. A delightful surprise were all the guest stars who came along for the ride beginning with Judith Light in the very first episode . . . I still think of her from her Emmy award-winning role as Karen on OLTL (way before Who's the Boss). Also Brooke Shields, Rick Springfield, and Jennifer Jason Leigh - all flashbacks from my youth!! Speaking of Flash... what a shock to see a very aged 80 year old Michael Nouri as opposing counsel in episode one. (He was the hunky hunk who wooed Jennifer Beals in Flashdance!) For me, this was a fun-tabulous nostalgic trip full of high fashion designer clothes, glamorous homes with spectacular views, classic soundtrack, and a mildly captivating storyline. KK cannot act and wears SO much makeup that her face looks plastic, but if you overlook that and just enjoy the show as pure entertainment, then it's fine.

Banal, one dimensional. I feel like this movie made Steve Jobs look like a cold hearted meanie with no shred of humanity. My three takeaways: A lot of shouting the same dialogue. A lot of the same, repetitive arguments. A lot of people angry at Steve Jobs for the same reason: he's a bully The acting is brilliant though.

It's a slow burn, but absolutely riveting once you get into it. Stellar performances by the complete cast but especially that young man. He better win whatever is the British equivalent of an Emmy!

I thought it was solid. Gripping and suspenseful at the start to pique interest and twist and turns enough to hold it. All the characters were given totally unique and relatable personality flaws and played them brilliantly. Nicole Kidman was way too annoying for me. Perhaps it was the phony Russian accent or the fact her face was stuck in a "deer in the headlights" look with no other expression from all the plastic surgery, but I just needed that character played by someone else. Kudos to the rest of the cast for carrying the story, but especially Melissa McCarthy, Bobby Cannavale, Luke Evans and Michael Shannon!

This show is so bad I can barely watch and stopped halfway without caring how it ends. The story is weak and focused so much on the "treason" that it loses touch with the reality of the characters. For someone who is supposed to work in British Intelligence, the main character makes very UN intelligent choices. He's a bumbling fool making rogue decisions that would never happen in real government circles with that much security around him. The wife is shallow and one dimensional and I actually like this actress. Weak plot notwithstanding, the dialogue is so bad, it's almost hilarious. Overall horrible acting. Weak script and direction. Predictable and formulaic.

The great cast and director drew me to this film in anticipation of something stellar. Honestly, i found it confusing and disjointed. Too many characters introduced across timelines that kept criss crossing without explanation of what was happening. Why did she keep the doll?? What is wrong with her? Is she ok at the end? Stabbed? Bleeding out? On holiday? The young Leda is abusive if not outright neglectful of her children and should have been reported to authorities instead of rewarded with a successful career.
