What to Know

Critics Consensus

A powerhouse trio isn't enough to save a middling narrative that lacks originality, pizzazz, and a sustainable conceit.

The idea that these three women are friends from college who see one another as their “people” is a bit difficult to swallow. Go to Full Review

Apple TV+ is serving up a perfectly adequate thriller to accompany wine nights, best watched while suspending a generous portion of disbelief in order to have some mindless fun, never to be discussed again. Go to Full Review

4.5/5
The story that emerges in those later episodes is striking in its depth and complexity, efficient in its surprises, and award-worthy in its performances. It just takes a while to get there. Go to Full Review

3/5

7/10

See more Julian D @Oldwiseperson25 2d I really don't get the criticism. I watched this through on a long flight and it had me hooked, I liked the story switching, the plot is deep enough and the twists good. And the production and cast is very solid. Worked well for me.
