Brilliant and touching

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Amazing, a thousand curse words there and another thousand curse words here.

The first episode sucks you in. Don't read any spoilers just go in with little information.

Brilliantly balancing between farce and tragedy, this series grasps your heart from the very start and doesn't let it go till the finale, and even for quite a while after it. As a true masterpiece, it doesn't say anything directly, you just find yourself deeply involved in the plot and start commiserate with the protagonists.The young actors who play them are both amazingly talented and the rest of the cast are fantastic. The narration is witty, the characters are credible and the plot is extremely realistic. The whole thing is a real gem!

Forget the tired old formula of dragging out never ending stories with 22 42 minute episodes where nothing happens until the mid-season and season finales. This daring show throws you eight 20 minute episodes filled with wit, laughs, terribleness and character development rarely seen on TV. It's beautifully odd with amazing writing, cinematography and outright superb performances by the two leads who play characters you shouldn't care for but absolutely love. This certainly isn't network fare with Jessica Barden's foul mouthed Alyssa and Alex Lawthor's scrawny not really psycho James. The chemistry between them is so good yet surreal, natural and sweet. I don't know whether it will or should continue because it did what it set out to do and did it so very well. It completely defies convention of modern TV. Bravo.
