What a hot mess
18 December 2022
This show is wild. Everyone tries hard acting wise but it's a battle with the source material. The issue is the storyline is inherently creepy (but why didn't we all realise this in the early 2000s?). There is the big issue that the main characters don't really seem to even like each other ... which is understandable considering the fatalism of being locked in a life with no option of your decisions actually being able to influence anything. The production values are a bit b-grade - honestly I'm 42 and Theo James's "aging make-up" to make him look 42 was frankly depressing. I think if you look at this as not a romance, but a existential Kafkaesque horror, you'll get some enjoyment out of it. Also, Theo James has a nice bum.
