A more complex movie than it first appears, the acting from the entire cast was outstanding. At times I found the characters actually made me feel uncomfortable on their behalf and it took me a while to realise that this is exactly what was intended. The entire movie is a study of the emotional struggle of crossing boundaries and this required an impressive intensity from both Ortega and Freeman. In exactly the same vein, Miller's wife, played by Dagmara Dominczyk, was a masterclass in how to develop a character from superficial attractiveness into gin-soaked malignance - an outstanding performance.

I've no doubt that some will find the movie "slow" and "meandering", but if you are prepared to invest in it, the cast will repay you with a moving (and slightly terrifying!) emotional journey that will stay with you for a long time. A feat which few works can manage.

I was please to see this new show with the easily watchable Rob Lowe. Unlike others, it bothers me not in the slightest that his son also appears. Everyone in a position to do so helps their kids - especially if they have an altitude for something. What does grate a little with me is the writing: People just don't talk like this. Every line is a testament to "look how clever my writing is" and the constant unnatural loquaciousness of the dialogue is unrealistic and distracting. On the upside, the premise is a good one and the Lowes work well together. It's often the case that a show needs 3-6 episodes to "settle in" and hopefully, this show will do so and become an entertaining watch.

So I've been a big fan since season 1 and I still am, but it's so annoying to have the entire season dedicated to a single plot line. I miss the old days when each episode was a separate story and was concluded at the end of the episode. I find the long story arc wearing and, I have to say, a little boring. Here's hoping that the next season picks up the pace and gets back to the roots that made the show great.

The single plot line across an entire season forces a slower pacing and the tension and energy of the story suffers as a result. Now that the show is down some major characters, this lack of pace is amplified and becomes quite tiresome - even a chore to some extent.
