Gareth v @geewah Jul 10 A gripping and compelling murder mystery that is led by Sharon Stone in one of her finest performances. See more Mark @Tdmr1312 10/30/2023 Wow.... really, dont waste your time .... some solid performances with a lackluster script and at times sophomoric direction that will want you wanting more.... Seems like a classic WHO DUNNIT ride , or so Sodwrbergh leads you to believe and invest your time watching as such, but ends with one of those e" artsy" endings that leaves the viewer with a mystery unsolved. IF you loved the ending of the SOPRANOS then this is for you... Prententious. See more mike p 03/26/2021 Excellent cast, especially Sharon Stone. The first 4 episodes were suspenseful, developed the characters and set the tone for which should have been a riveting investigation of who actually killed Olivia and why. Instead the series goes over a cliff of implausible scenarios leading to a confusing ending that satisfies no one. See more 06/07/2019 The biggest trick that Soderbergh pulls off is how smoothly the casting and the tone shifts, you will be amazed how this goes, more than where this goes. Mosaic Soderbergh is always the man for the thriller. And breaking that image of his, in this mini-series, the thrills rely more upon drama and the horror.. well, on short supply. The director, Steven Soderbergh collaborating with the writer Ed Solomon, almost looks like a match made in heaven. The absurdity of the world that Solomon is famous for creating, Soderbergh with his authenticity labels this storyline with enough credibility to grab your attention. Another endorsement of the series which lured me in, was through this bizarre setting of this case that allows you, the audience, to interact and solve on your own. Something that Black Mirror, infamously tried later on too, and not to mention failed miserably. But the difference between Bandersnatch and this Soderbergh product, is that latter one is infused on telling the story first, rather than handing over the stick to its viewers. And despite of constraining themselves to not fall for the commercial aspect, as Black Mirror did, the series still lacks the communication to build any possible hype. Also, It lacks the romance between the characters for us to care about. And as a result, this creates an outreaching physical distance where even someone as skilful as Soderbergh too feels incompetent and helpless, on serving the purpose. The crowdedness in the screen makes the filling of the gap in the narration easily. It is also difficult to cope up, on separating their individuality but if got hold of them, the narration grows complex and easy at the same time. Soderbergh, an expert in exploring such a theme, coming from Traffic and Ocean's Trilogy, this is like a piece of cake for him. It's a pseudo reaction that only he gets to enjoy it and we, as an audience, just teased or tortured- choose your preference- in this Mosaic structure crime drama, breaking the fourth wall and re-building the crucial first three.
