The films start out annoying and obscure, but slowly build into a fascinating story
Story
Follow Catherine Ravenscroft, a television documentary journalist whose work is built on exposing the transgressions of long-respected institutions. Gary Oldman was originally rumored to get the role, but he was replaced by Kevin Kline. I don’t know if Alfonso has an enemy on IMDB, which explains the brutal and unfair 1 star ratings, but they are completely inconsistent.
It gets darker and more complicated with each episode
.At first it doesn’t seem like a straight mystery, more like a tragic drama. But you start to get the feeling that there’s more to the story than the glaringly obvious good vs. bad characters.
Now a gray cat
To the point where I felt like I had to come back here to change my original review and add more stars. The cockroach situation is disturbing and telling. A small detail, but this might be the first show I’ve ever seen that really depicts a real cat-human relationship.
Curious, mischievous, entertaining and affectionate
How the cat is always by your side. I really appreciate a movie that doesn’t categorize the cat as an aloof or even dark presence. The gray cat in this movie has more charm than all the humans put together and steals every scene he’s in.
I hope he gets an Oscar!
It’s a great series and I’m in!
