I cannot believe how cheap this feels

[GoodErsatz · 3/10 · 2 July 2022]

I wasn't expecting this to be "premium" television, but this honestly almost feels like a CW production. The acting is good, the writing seems fine, but editing & direction are off the rails BAD. The scene in the forest required a stuntman, why I don't know, but anyway the stuntman and the actor are apparently interchangeable in the scene. They didn't even try to hide the stuntman's face. Really lazy direction and editing.
