Odd; even Joan Crawford can't make this episode watchable. I only watched this one episode, entitled One Must Die, so I have no comment on the series as a whole. It's 24 minutes but it felt like I knew the twist for firty five minutes and was just waiting for the plot to catch up to me.
Joan does a great job playing two characters, at first. Then she falters just a little distinguishing between the two. But if you know the twist, which was painfully obvious to me; maybe it was an acting choice. She doesn't make bad acting choices, but this means she gets an A minus this time; not bad at all. She isn't the problem.
When she goes to confront the dog, I wanted her to shoot it. That is because it all seems fake. A fake looking exterior of the mansion, complete with too obviously distressed shutters, fake looking interiors; false ending- Did you know that a character could have a cathartic moment or realization without destroying anything? The writer doesn't. And all the main man had to do was to use a blanket and save lots of expense.
It's interesting to see Joan with a Western hairstyle but you don't need to watch this just for that. There should have been a little more subtlety between the stark contrast of the lens when it's on her and when it's not.
