I wanted to love the show. Actually I do love it, with one exception, but this exception ruins the entire series.
Whenever Nicole Kidman's character arrives in a scene, I am immediately pulled out of the story, and find myself asking this question:
"Does someone actually go into a plastic surgeon's office and say, 'Hey Doc, I want FB/Insta-pursed duck-lips, please. Make it so when I am just standing there my lips are pursed all the time, so I don't have to go through the effort of doing it myself. Oh, and can you make this permanent too? Thank you.'"
Kidman's appearance is so distracting that I often miss the dialogue that transpires right after she shows up, so I end up having to rewind and watch it again, either with my eyes closed, or with my hand over the part of my TV that has Kidman on it. Only then will I be able to actually hear what is being said.
The show would be a solid 7/10 without Kidman, but unfortunately, with her, it is so unwatchable that I have to give it a 3.
