Marcus D @zoneofenders Jan 24 This mini series was boring as hell and incredibly slow moving. I think Marks acting was great, but the story for this series was just super weak. It came off as a so what story and (in my opinion), a big waste of time. I have no idea how the reviews are so positive when I couldn’t wait for the final credits to roll so I could move on from it.

Too pretentious. In the first scene a mentally disturbed adult man (Mark Ruffalo 1) self mutilates himself inside a public library. His twin brother (Mark Ruffalo 2) who appears to be his legal guardian, after a few seconds of recollection in the hospital,agrees with his brother that the doctors should not reattach his hand. But the same “sane” brother gets upset when the crazy one refuses to visit with their mother who is dying of cancer. The mother produces a manuscript handwritten by her father in Italian. The solid brother decides to have it translated, so the mother can read it before she dies. He visits the professional translator Melissa Leo who looks for a few seconds just on the first page of the text and she recognizes that it is in Italian with Sicilian dialect elements as well. She quotes a price although pages five to fifty could be in sanskrit. Later, they talk on the phone with the translator audibly munching on some food. We are now at the 21:38 mark and MAX can keep the rest. See more Joakim Mar 13 Loved most parts of this show, liked some parts and disliked a few things. What I love, is the overarching story and how it concluded. Because a part just before the final two episodes of the show, I was feeling like the story was slightly meandering and I wasn't sure of the point of the show, but the story picks up again and concludes as strong as it opened. Really good show. Mark Ruffalo fans unite! Gorgeous editing also. Thank you!

See more Tina S 07/18/2024 The acting was superb, and the show had me hooked, until the ending, at the last episode, when it went totally flat, and took a 100% turn from where the show had been heading, which was about two young boys growing up under abuse/sexual abuse. At the beginning, Dominic is narrating how he hated his step-father, and gave a clear picture of abuse, which we are led to believe is why his brother becomes so troubled. As well, there was a clear implication that his grandfather was molesting his own daughter, as well as his mother molesting his own brother. And yet, with both brothers being so screwed up, the writers suddenly turn the show to end like nothing bad happened, and that Dominic and his brother had good parents and a good step-father, and that Dominic should be thankful, and not focus on the abuse, cuz maybe it never happened at all. Totally unrealistic, and it was clear both boys grew up screwed up, and that Dominic was scarred from his past. I felt the writers at the end were watering down, ignoring, or promoting abuse on purpose, especially with the "strange" response at the end by the therapist, like they wanted to give a "free pass" to those who sexually and physically abuse children.
