I really wanted to see this. I love me some Betty Gilpin. Plus it just looks interesting. I couldn't get past the 1st episode without getting nauseated. Not sure why the purpose of filming in such a manner is.

I call this zig-zag-zoom cinematography.

And crazy contrast where you cannot even see the characters faces. It's not great for story telling.

Exactly. Trying to focus on a face is next to impossible.
