I see a lot of discussion surrounding how alike or different this is from the movie. Even though I love the movie, I went into this without any expectations on what it should or shouldn't be. But even with an open mind, I just found myself not fully enjoying this series. I reluctantly continued through to the end.
It has plenty of good. Both leads give great performances. I enjoyed the dialogue, especially the heated debates. There are a few powerful moments. And the action is serviceable (but scarce).
It's hard to understand why I couldn't get into it more. But I think one problem is that, episode to episode, there are major shifts in their relationship and the story in general. We don't see how or why it happens. It's all offscreen and it's fairly jarring. On two different occasions, I double checked which episode I started to make sure I didn't skip one.
For that and other unknown reasons, I always felt at an arm's length from this story. And the series in general. I think many will like it, but it's not something I'd personally recommend.
