★★☆☆☆
Great acting, rich feminist thematic materials, but terribly convoluted storyline
So sad that the series starts with the conceit that the girlfriend of a serial killer would end up in a witness protection program, and is stupid enough to be locked up by her 'caretaker' who medicates her. When a young friend dies, she needs the caretaker to contact the police--she won't do. He tells her to go to bed. So sorry--some of this stuff gets nears the objectification, exploitation and terror women face in a world full of stalkers, but when it neglects to inform its main female characters with intellectual agency, it does them a huge disservice. I wish I could watch more and maybe I will, because the moody cinematography and stellar acting draw me, but some of this seems so ridiculous, I can't keep watching.
