“Thought I was into it, turns out, NOPE. It’s a shame because the key narrative re: cultural miscommunications and the devastating effects they can have on people’s lives is important and compelling. It gets buried or lost through poor storytelling here though. The male host delivers his lines in comically bad, stilted fashion and as if he’s talking to kindergartners. Susan Choi’s perspective is a highlight and wish it would have been just her. Episode 8, they bring in a random former bank robber as an expert analyst on the motivations of killers and what he thinks of this particular case, and it was simply embarrassing “journalism” or whatever they are calling this. Should have been half the number of episodes to tell this story.”
