Gary Oldman was rumored to be cast, but he was replaced by Kevin Kline

Scenario

It follows Catherine Ravenscroft, a TV documentary journalist whose job is to expose the transgressions of long-respected institutions. In several episodes, Jonathan uses the same lens throughout the series, a medium-length telephoto lens.

The series is too long, too drawn out

Such a lens would not be able to focus on close-up objects, like a selfie with Sasha or in the bedroom with Catherine. Never read the book, so treat the series as a standalone.

“Plotting a device that keeps track of history

It was intriguing and mysterious for the first few episodes, but by episode five I was like, “Oh my god, just finish it already.” Catherine’s constant silence/interruptions as she tries to figure out her side of the story feels like a moment. Apparently they’re getting ready for a “ride.” The constant, detailed sex scenes are just awesome.

I don’t mind sex scenes, but if I want to watch “in detail” sex scenes that last ten minutes, my first choice would not be Apple TV+

Literally porn.
