I watched all of season one and began two before it was removed from Netflix. Season one began in an intriguing, fast paced manner that left you hoping for the next episode and wondering what was next. But they came in a little strong in the beginning with good action and tasteful downfalls, until nearing the middle-end of the season. Season one dragged on and on and spent too many episodes focusing on Conrad and Victoria's crumbling marriage and the personal shots they take at one another. After a few episodes in season 2 the show lost my interest.
My interest was lost because the acting can be so cheesy. Emily and Victoria constantly deliver stiff, obviously rehearsed lines not only to each other, but to everyone the communicate with. It is as if Emily WANTED Vic to know she hated her, and she was making no real effort to be the sweet new girl next door character. No words out of their mouths (even when spoken sincerely) could be heard as such because it sounded so staged.
Too many times do we see Victoria crying to her oh so beloved Daniel that "this is for your own good". He will leave or be mad for an episode or two, and then back into their home as he does, just as expected. Nolan repeatedly makes juvenile remarks such as "omg!" or "shes's cray cray", paired up with his distasteful collared shirt on collared shirt style makes him another far-fetched character.
Jack and Declan are the only two characters I could find to be the least problematic and most believable.
It can be easy to binge watch until you see a film or show with good acting and a stronger plot and realize that the show isn't as awesome as we originally think.
