Lady in the Lake

It falls apart fast especially with all the dream sequences. Almost nonsensical by the end. The basic story would have worked fine as a straight mystery without all the additional fantastical elements and the weak social commentary. I know I'm supposed to admire both of those things and the crazy production design but it just does not work. I battled my way to the end of each episode and went on to the next just because I'm a completist and I do like Portman in most of her films. I cant recommend this series and I'm surprised at the range of reviews and ratings for the series here. To each his own.
