Apple TV Plus' new miniseries can't decide if it wants to be a crime drama or an earnest parable—and spoils itself in the process.
’s central issue is that it continually suffers from, ahem, a bit of an identity crisis. The show can’t seem to figure out if it wants to be a shocking crime drama or an earnest treatise on the stigmas surrounding mental illness, and as a result, it ends up as neither.The mysteries presented at the story’s outset are so immediately evident and written in such a heavy-handed, winky manner that one will likely forget any of this is supposed to be a mystery at all.
The twist, then, comes about two episodes too late. What follows is at times genuinely moving but largely reads like a series of quotes cribbed from pastel-toned Insta-graphics and mushed together into a schmaltzy plea to take mental illness seriously. It’s not that these topics aren’t handled with the care and sensitivity they deserve. They are. It’s just that they aren’t written particularly well, nor does the show really have anything new or interesting to say about them.
