The front half was a lot stronger than the back--I think they are cutting the supply with a bit too much baking soda--but it is a truly intense experience of a show. I saw the criticism on Twitter that it's a little "One Perfect Shot-y" and that is definitely true, but at least they're aiming for the brass ring and occasionally fall flat off their carousel horse. The soundtrack is also pretty amateur hour, and Joseph Fiennes and Yvonne Strahovski aren't able to salvage their underwritten, over-explained architects of the patriarchy. But Alexis Bledel, Samira Wiley, and especially Elisabeth Moss are all fierce as hell, and they're worth the price of admission, each showing her own balance of desperation and dignity in an impossible situation.
