In a nutshell, Armie is guilty because his Great Great Grandad was possibly a communist. His Grandad tried to hide being Russian. His Father was left the entire family inheritance and the Aunt was cut out the will and is extremely bitter about being left penniless and seems to have never seen Armie since he was a child, but she knows what he's like. Then there's the ex-girlfriend who experienced something she won't talk about and later overheard something else she won't talk about. A couple of thirsty tik-tokers and the girl who's traumatised, but never actually met him. The only person who actually made criminal complaints and MIGHT have merits, has nothing to do with this. Oh and Armie kicked his Aunt when he was four, so he must be guilty.
What a hack job.
What a hack job.
No Spoilers...
The first episode started as a diversity tick list of every minority going, that's normally not a good sign, but I stuck with it and it wasn't so in your face as it went along. It felt like a story was building in a dramatic second half of the first episode, but now nothing is happening.
The original UK QAF was groundbreaking and it's depictions of gay sex were shocking and amazing. This re-imagining is piling on the sex, but it's 2022 and no longer has the same impact. It's just sex for the sake of sex.
It also appears that this series has colourblind casting, great! BUT white parents don't have a black child and a caucasian and asian couple don't have a latino son. Unless there's a back story we don't know in both these gay's conceptions, it's stupid.
I'm honestly not entirely sure who the specific target demographic is. I imagine they would say 'Queer' people, but that's broad term and by appealing to everyone, it's a miss for many. I think that's the case here.
I think I'll stick with it, but as of episode five, it's just treading water and there's no story line to me engaged.

It's not a bad film, it's just not a nine like others have said and it's not an accurate depiction of schizophrenia.
It's more of a less sophisticated take on A Beautiful Mind with the story line of Hitchcock's Rear Window. I feel like the writer watched both of these films on a Friday night, then wrote this the next day.
It's a little slow and would have benefited from being trimmed by twenty minutes or so. The dialogue feels forced and lacks flow. If you're bored, give it a go.
