Yeah. I don’t really resonate with psychedelic drug effects in movies and TV. It just doesn’t work for me.
Also the flashbacks were hard as hell to keep straight. And I literally have no idea how Janet showed up.
That being said, while there were real weaknesses, there was some pretty damn good television in there too.
Thornton is an incredible actor and he crushes the role. The way he’s able to switch between lawyer and burnout is really compelling work. And I laughed at virtually every quip he made. Especially “the **** is this, gasoline?” Not sure why but his delivery tickled me.
The actress that played Patty did well too. I forgot how funny her smart as cracks were. I don’t really understand how the pregnancy fit in or what they were getting at. Other than needing it to be different from the other 2. But her character added a lot to the show.
Quaid did well per the usual.
The sister character was a little too far out there. So was their relationship. Some of the plot tension fell flat for me.
The crows daughter was a solid performance
There is a lot to like there even though they got kind of out there with some stuff.
