John C @RT07680136 Feb 25 It starts out rather slow (read boring) and then begins to pick up in episode 4 as, oddly enough, the acting improves ever so slightly. Sophie’s character development is key. She is so weirdly vague in episodes 1 through 3, it just looks like she struggles with conveying the frustration with "not remembering". James, her husband, is so strikingly handsome, I didn’t really care whether I liked Surface or not. See more Ang R @RT75488605 Aug 12 Definitely need a season 3! See more Lena R @RT53556206 Aug 10 Top 10 for sure!! it’ll make you predict what will happen, but you’ll almost always get it wrong & that’s what makes it a great show. its not a cliche! See more Aidan W @RT81868853 Jul 11 One of those series that you keep watching because you can't quite believe it's as bad as it seems. I think it's an Apple TV thing - we've become used to Apple TV delivering real quality (Severance ...). Guga Mbatha-Raw's 'captivating performance' - ? Erm, no. Nowhere near. Yes she is 'sublime' as one reviewer has said, skating perilously near old-fashioned manosphere sexual politics, but ... she can't pace herself, her pauses are too long, it's awkward. Same with the other principals, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Stephan James. Ari Graynor as Caroline marginally better. PLot? Well, hello ... memory loss and we spend the whole series waiting to find out how the hero/ine finds out who she is? Not what you'd call original. Howlers? The therapist, MarianneJean Baptiste. Someone should have done a bit of research on how therapy works. Terrible, appalling, a travesty. Back to plot - slow, slow, slow. I'm halfway through e6 and I really don't know who stole how much and why and who they thought they were when they were doing it. And you know what? I don't care. And there's the rub. It just doesn't engage. As I said I'm half way though e6 of 8 and I can't be bothered to watch the rest. And I'm cross with Apple TV for letting such mush on its screens. And that ain't no recommendation, viewers, is it? See more Chris M. @mymanmiller Jul 7 It keeps you trying to figure it out. It is a bit slow & repetitive, but not a flop. It is worth watching. See more Isabelle B @RT59067059 04/20/2025 Excruciatingly slow. The writers seem to have built this with large-sized Legos in three colors. How many times do I need to see the same scenes over and over? Once was plenty, especially since it was in slo-mo the first time. See more Read all reviews
