    • Trivia
      From the very outset, director Sam Esmail had been insistent on using original segments from a variety of his favorite original scores for his series. After exhaustively researching the complex prospect of licensing and copyright considerations, Esmail was eventually able to acquire clearance to go ahead with what had never been done before: score a TV series with digitized samples of original feature film music compositions. The excerpts from original scores used throughout the series were gleaned from the following: Title / Composer / Director

    Painfully Slow and Unrewarding (Season 1)
    NOTE: This review applies only to Season 1.

    The premise is intriguing and the acting is quite good, but the pacing is so slow that it often becomes boring. The story would have been more effective as a 2-hour movie than it is as a 10-episode series. You can tell that every episode was padded with yawns to fill the 30-minute time slot. The plot is so simple, it could be written in no more than five paragraphs.

    Julia Roberts, Stephan James and Bobby Cannavale all turn in good performances, but there just isn't much to work with here.

    Julia Roberts is laid back most of the time and seems to be on sedatives. I've seen the film described as a "thriller" so I watched all 10 episodes waiting for some thrills. They never happened. It just isn't worth the time.
