A Very Twisty Thriller
22 September 2023
Most mysteries and thrillers on TV are fairly predictable. So I love it when I can't tell what the next plot twist is, although not when the twist is unbelievable. It should, with a shift of perspective, turn out to make sense after all. And every plot twist in this series caught me by surprise and yet makes sense, logically and psychologically. And Jenna Coleman, whose show this is, is marvelous. We see her go through every possible emotion: happiness, shock, heartbreak, rage, fear, deceit, anxiety, love, the works. She deploys not only her big eyes but every tiny muscle in her face, and subtly. Contrary to what some reviews say, this is not a slow burn. Everything is important. (1 point off for the writers putting the occasional Britishism in the mouths of American characters.)
