A teaser popped up as cinema ads before the movie starts playing so I thought it was going to be a movie not series. Half an hour episodes seem a little short for the mystery they're trying to solve but it's better than dragging out an episode to an hour.
Watched the first three episodes and the premise is pretty original but nothing spectacular(yet); it's a couple that's either seemingly falling out of love or just bored after 10yrs is distracting themselves from it by trying to solve a murder while on their anniversary vacation. There's an element of suspense, just not that thrilling. Sam and Violet's story arc's carrying the show for now but when Emma and Noah unravel the mystery more might get more interesting. It's not bad but it's just not interesting enough to make me excited for the rest of the season to air. The actors are doing quite a lot of the heavy lifting. It's from the creators of Palm Springs and Mr. Robot so I had slightly higher expectations, sorta has the Palm Springs vibe especially with Cristin Milioti in it but tagging Mr Robot feels like bait. It feels like White Locust on a smaller scale.
I'm finding a really tough time thinking of a rating to give because I don't like or dislike it either, so maybe I'll wait for the rest of the season to drop.
Alright, update after watching the whole season and it gets better, way better at the end. It's so cleverly written, it has you questioning whether it's fantasy then comes up with rational explanations, and even though it follows dual timelines with both Emma and Noah's, and Sam and Violet's, you only know as much as the characters know so you're just a clueless and curious. It answers the big mystery in the end, but there's still a few things left unexplained. The show's start is interesting enough to keep watching but the end of the season makes it more than worth a watch.
