Gary Oldman was originally rumored to be cast, but was replaced by Kevin Kline
Chronology
It follows Catherine Ravenscroft, a TV documentary journalist whose work has been built around revealing the transgressions of long-respected institutions. The film starts off edgy and shaky, but slowly builds into an intriguing story. I don’t know if Alfonso has an enemy on IMDB – that explains the brutal and unfair 1 star ratings – but they’re completely out of place.
It gets darker and more complex with each episode
At first it doesn’t feel like an outright mystery, more of a tragic drama. But you start to get the sense that there’s more to the story than the seemingly obvious good and bad characters. To the point where I felt like I had to come back here to change my original review and add stars.
Now, the gray cat
The cockroach situation is both disturbing and revealing. A nitpicky detail, but this may be the first show I’ve seen that actually depicts a real relationship between a cat and a human. How a cat is always by your side.
Curious, mischievous, entertaining and cute
I really appreciate a movie that doesn’t portray the cat as aloof or even a dark presence. The gray cat in this movie has more charm than all the humans put together and steals every scene he’s in. I hope he wins an Oscar!
