Before you start watching, make yourself aware that this is a french series. Which means, you most likely watch some kind of dubbed and/or translated version. Secondly, different countries have a different way of storytelling and a different sense of humour.
I agree that the main character of Ida takes some getting used to, but to me, it all made sense in the end. Who knows how I would behave with a supposedly fatal illness; I might choose to screw conventions and expectations, too! Nevertheless, we are still talking about fiction here, so allow the writers some freedom.
I was reminded of the movie "Les Rivières pourpres" in places, but maybe it was just the gorgeous mountain setting. The story took twists and turns and kept me guessing. It was very dark in places. It's a good thing there were only 6 episodes, so it never got dull and was easily watched in a weekend.
For me, well worth watching.
