Okay.. so only 2 episodes.First episode was slow, but had moments showing possible promise. It was set up for various directions the story COULD take. I forgave how slow it was overall, understanding that character setups and discovery could be imperative for later happenings.Second episode is TWICE as slow and three times less interesting. Much of the story seemed largely irrelevant and filler. Now, I am aware it's 2 episodes in.. so perhaps they are still setting things up. But... I gotta say.. that gatorade was EXCEPTIONALLY telegraphed in episode 2. Just poor, poor, acting (or writing). And the house.. just ludicrous.If nothing moves forward, there's nothing really compelling anyone, well ... me, into watching more. After the first 2 episodes I'm in NO WAY eager to see more. I'm not looking forward to "what may happen" because nothing has been foreshadowed in the slightest.I do "get" the possible "bad luck" Asher may have experienced in episode two... Honestly, those just seemed to be very typical life situations that didn't go in one's favor.... if THAT is meant to be "The Curse" oh boy, how uninteresting this all may flesh out to be. Will Asher miss trash pick up next week and chalk that up to "The Curse"?I'll give it ONE more episode and if it's not moving any faster, or there's no further discovery in episode 3.. I'll be done with it. There are a million things to watch any more. If this series wishes to be worthwhile watching, it needs to prove itself as such, and rapidly at this point. I have better things to do, and watch, than some slow-moving pretentious drivel which appears to be going nowhere. At the very least I can wait until the entire thing has aired and it's all streamable or watchable on demand.. so i can fast forward through these CLEARLY "filler" episodes. There's quite a lot to like with this one. Among its brighter aspects is a solid central setup that makes for a wholly engaging scenario to be utilized here. The first half explores quite heavily and naturally, the desperation she feels at keeping her life in order despite it all crumbling down around her, ranging from the struggles of finding housing for her and her daughter to facing the racism and misogynistic abuse for the work she does and the natural indignation of being a single mother. This gives the new job opportunity such a sense of importance for her that she can use it as a means of escaping this lifestyle only to end up stumbling upon a far more dangerous threat inside the house which gets uncovered slowly during her employment. This is handled incredibly well for a great start to things. This early setup allows the film to really ratchet up the tension in the second half. This employs a rather frenetic ploy as the living conditions she'd been working under change constantly due to a solid series of explanations and reveals that come about. With so much of the first part involving the daughter living there in secret trying not to alert her boss about it or being inundated with all sorts of rules about her care routine and responsibilities, there's an air of suspense and unease present that helps to make the revelations present that come about regarding the proper treatment or loyalty feel far more shocking and clever. As these lead into a frenetic finale offering some shocking truths and reveals about who's in charge, it all provides quite a lot to really enjoy here. While not overtly a flaw, this does have some drawbacks to be had. One of the main factors against it is the second half introducing some extra reveals and reversals which don't need to be there. The incidents involving the true unscrupulous behavior of the two battling for the position of head of the house come off as forced as if this is relying on providing a shocking barrier for her to overcome as the main focus. Instead, this ends up causing a whirlwind of ideas floating about where it crams ideas at random to create a decided lack of focus as a result. Now, this factor doesn't impact quite heavily at all but due to the rather heavy care that the first half had displayed, this becomes obvious and is what holds it back.
