Raphael Rowe is fantastic at his job! Way better than Paul Connolly. I actually see why they replaced him rather quickly after the first season. It was incredibly uncomfortable watching Paul bring his outside mindset into the prison system. Raphael, being a former prisoner himself, knows that there is a certain mentality and culture of respect that you must abide to or it will get you killed.

The culture of the prisons fascinate me and Raphael knows this. He uses his interviewing skills and ability to navigate the prison culture while also standing his ground. It's incredible work by Raphael and I cannot get enough of this show!

What a strange story. I didn't love it though I'm captivated by it but based on a "true" story, it is not.

Although this series is slow, the story is compelling and keeps the viewer wanting to know what's behind the slow burn. The neighbors, neighborhood, "friends," and the house is what hell is made of. It's makes for an interesting and eerie combo.

There are times, however, that this show gets on my nerves. For example, the main couple of the show should never play poker because they are always blowing their lids at everyone at the slightest clue that gets blown their way while showing their hand to everyone.

But as you watch it more and more you'll realize, everyone has a motive for something. Just gotta keep watching to find out what.

It missed the actual remaking of a classic! Disney, why do you have to mess with the original story?! The story of Pinocchio was about the wooden boy learning from his mistakes and becoming honest by learning how lying 🤥 is NOT OK. But of course Disney wants to sugar coat it. Just be honest with the original story that was told. It actually teaches children a better way. That it's ok to learn from your mistakes. That's the part of growing up. Instead Disney turned into a "just be brave" and that makes you honest. NO.

Because it deviated from the story, there is really no struggle here for the character himself. Somehow Pinocchio always had it, whatever "it" is, in him. This just teaches kids to never grow up and learn from their mistakes. Really disappointed that Tom Hanks would agree to do a classic story that isnt the story at all.
