Ken D the show tries to do way too much. it should've focused on one or two crimes instead of like five and that's when the show loses me completely. too many leads, too many vicitms, too many conflicts, too many everything and none is done masterfully. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/23/25 Full Review Philip T There are so many holes and unresolved questions in the plot of this that it sort of ruins the whole thing. But other people have brought this up on Reddit and other places so I won't go through all of them. However, there is one that I have not seen anyone bring up that really bothers me, because I've seen this in a few other detective mysteries lately so I guess it is the new fad among mediocre writers. That is where the detective rushes into the scene WITHOUT BACKUP and it gets them into trouble. And it has always been with a female detective--- because they're hysterical and can't control their emotions? Doesn't reflect well on female detectives. Any well trained cop knows to NEVER try to enter a scene to capture a murderer without at least CALLING for backup before entering (unless they actually see the killer in the process of killing someone right before their eyes.) There are two ways to move the narrative forward--- with characters doing smart things and characters doing stupid things. Over 90% of TV shows and movies I've seen, especially those written by mediocre writers, move the action forward by the character doing stupid things. This is just another example. Also, Marcella's "fugue" states don't seem believable to me at all--- they just seem overwrought and silly.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Krishna K it was good for most part but the unpleasant sound effects are very annoying, maybe its was a poor effort to recreate the mental state of the protagonist in the audience, binge watching could cause head ache, felt like cruel joke, I would have given it a better rating if it wasn't for that sound since its a TV series, being realistic does not mean it has to be unpleasant, Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/24 Full Review John M Very complicated. Too many sub-plots. I could almost predict the deaths. Any time somebody became isolated they were sure to be beaten up or killed.
