Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
View MoreExcellent, a Must See
Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
View MoreStory: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Sorry I tried to like this. I tried to stick with it. But for me nowadays I haven't the tolerance to watch drama when it takes way too long to get going. Starts disjointed with multiple scenes that make little sense. Poor dialogue and one dimensional characters. I need to get emotionally hooked or attached to a character early on. I didn't. The picture is so bad too. Maybe it's me but way below the normal HBO standard.
View MoreI almost did not watch Mosaic after reading the comments here and finding a quite poor review by numbers. However, Mosaic managed to suprise me postively - Soderbergh's superb directing style with great dogma experiments and complex story drive you into a deep murder mystery. There is something from Lynch and Nolan but finally it is a real auteaur film (yes more a film than a tv serie) by Soderbergh. It is also more than a murder mystery as one can figure out from the great ending.
View MoreI actually registered on IMDb just to write a review for this series. It starts out looking as if it has potential to be a great who dunnit and ends with more questions than answers.I had trouble keeping track of all the characters because there are so many that you never see. Who the hell is Cameron anyway? And in the last episode, the only interesting well developed character, the cop, isn't even in it. He just disappears.Sharon Stone's character is so obnoxious you don't mind that someone kills her. And by the fourth episode I almost didn't care who really did it. But I had so much time invested in it already I figured let's see what happens.Well nothing. Nothing happens. It's the most unsatisfying ending of any series I've watched. And the biggest red herring they throw at you is never resolved. What was the symbol they keep showing? They make a huge deal out of it and it has absolutely nothing to do with anything.Please don't waste your time! It really is that bad.
View MoreThis was a huge surprise; I had started watching inattentively, letting three recorded episodes play while I made party preparations. Somewhere along the line it occurred to me I should start over and pay attention. The structure is clever, which you won't notice until you're 2/3 of the way through, and you won't realize how incredible the acting is until you figure things out a bit. Devin Ratray's performance, initially very understated, BLEW MY MIND. The ensemble acting crackles and snaps. And the story just works. The subject material, about a rich cougar and the inevitable hang-abouts, could put people off but I know the sea- and ski crowd and this is an exceedingly accurate portrayal.
