I saw this show trending on Netflix (#2) so I decided to check it out. This show is pretty good. It's more of thriller/suspense show with a little horror mixed in. Very good acting. It is a foreign show as well (U.K).

For those who have 4k TV's, the show is in Dolby Vision or HDR10 so you will see alot of bright colors and the picture quality is great.

I just binged it and liked it despite some flaws in the story line and the unexpected change of genre. Something different.

Can you list some of the flaws?

This is just my opinion and you may disagree but I did not find it believable that

Spoiler
Louise kept going back to Adele after it was obvious that she's not sane;
Rob suddenly turned against Adele after them being so close for a long time;
David did not see the change in Adele after Rob took over and went ahead to marry her and stayed with her.


Of course it doesn't make sense to expect a sci-fi story to be believable...

Good points, and your right, those are definitely flaws.

I would have liked it more without the Sci-fi stuff, just a good psychological thriller.

KB4 - regarding your points that I don't see as flaws:

Spoiler
Louise kept going back to Adele after it was obvious that she's not sane;
Louise became obsessed with Adele and just couldn't let it go;

Rob suddenly turned against Adele after them being so close for a long time;
Rob simply decided what he wanted (Adele's life/husband) so he seized the moment and acted quickly. He probably figured he may not get another chance;

David did not see the change in Adele after Rob took over and went ahead to marry her and stayed with her.
Of course David saw the changes in Adele; that's the basis of the series. It just kept getting worse as time went on, but when he married "her" it wasn't so bad and he did love her when he married her staying out of obligation. Plus, I wouldn't expect Astral Projection to be on David's radar as a diagnosis for his wife.

Oh, and the sex scene in the first or second episode where Adele wanted David to perform a "certain act" done to her made more sense once we knew it was really Rob. I mean I could tell David didn't want to do it again, but that it gave Adele/Rob great pleasure.


I did enjoy the series and if there's one thing that could be changed it would be:

Spoiler
... that Adam gets to go live with his father and new family. Poor Adam.

It started out with four or five episodes of boring, wrapped up with one episode of stupid.

Anyone who hasn't made it to the end, save yourself!
