Sam Esmail is a talent. Everything he touches at the moment turns to gold.
This show is very very well directed and has some brilliant camerawork. Julia Roberts is her usual self and Bobby Cannevale's screen presence is intoxicating. Shea Whigham is also at his best here.
It's a premise that was touched on in The Manchurian Candidate but goes further here. 30 minute episodes help with binge watching.
See this series. It doesn't disappoint.
I agree with you, it was fantastic.
shareShea Whigham acting is top-notch and is comparable only to his best in 'Radio Free Albemuth'.
shareI was way late to this series... the vague description didn't interest me.
Thanks to the COVID situation, my wife and I found ourselves burning through shows and we stumbled on this.
Great show... At times it had an almost Twin Peaks-vibe, mostly due to the camera-work, oddball stuff happening in the background(Did anyone notice/comment on the weird scene with the "fake fire" fireplace and the mannequin while Stephan was on the phone?), the dark look and the credits playing over a lingering final scene which was inspired by S3 of Twin Peaks.
