I have a couple of things to add to what she wrote. I found the most interesting plot ‘gimmick’ was the nerd niece's dead wife brought back to life as an AI realtime onscreen voice and video presence. Her’s was by far the most charming role in the series, and very nearly its only sympathetic character.
Everyone else was flawed enough to be off-putting, while all were competent-to-varying-degrees in their careers. I wonder if that is how Kidman experiences her off-screen life?
[Spoiler Alert] The series - nominally a whodunnit - violated one of that genre’s basic plot “rules.” It turned out the perp was someone whose only presence before the denouement was a one-line walk-on. There was no way for the viewer to have Holmes’ed it out.
I found the series shared a number of plotting flaws with Kidman’s earlier series, The Perfect Couple. My conclusion, she is a competent actress but I should avoid those of her future efforts in which she also has an off-camera role. These two examples of her notion of a good story left me irritated.
