The show is fine but a bit slowish. The concept is actually very good however they did not use all the potential of the material and thus the story became a bit thin after a while. They could have told the story within two or three episodes max. But a good reason to see it is the performance of Naomi Watts who is terrific and gives one of her best performances in years. It really motivates you to sit through the slow show just to watch her acting her soul out. Billy Crudup was also good and not as stiff as he usually is. He had some really memorable moments throughout the show. Sophie Cookson is an interesting new comer with a lot of talent and charisma. I look forward to see more of her in the future. I loved the casting of Blythe Danner which was pitch perfect. Wished she had been in more episodes. The show was nicely shot with a great soundtrack. I wasn't a fan of the ending because it still leaves a lot of questions open. I would watch a second Season because I do care enough for the show to figure out some conclusions and of course to see more of Naomi Watts in one of her finest turns.
