So much potential...
Started with so much promise. A very thought provoking first few episodes of a universal story that so many people can relate to. But sadly it devolved into a simplistic, treacly mess. Jan confuses real autobiographical intimacy with whimpering incessantly into the mic. She doesn’t really let us get to know any of the characters and tends to box everyone into good guy/bad guy tropes without much more depth. The mystery of her father “character” is never fully explored in any meaningful way (could she not have interviewed or at least discussed anyone from his side of the family and their views or at the very least explained why she chose not to?) and her mother is never really called to task for her many clearly poor life choices. Although forgiveness is a personal path and not necessarily the right one for everyone, it was disappointing that a smart young woman could not at least come to some sense of understanding that her father was incapable of having a “normal” relationship with her due to some obvious mental health issues. Being fatherless is a tragedy, but so is having a highly dysfunctional one. Perhaps in the end Jan was spared a much worse fate had her father been more present.
