I thought the show started off well and I was intrigued enough to move onto the next episode despite a few narrative oddities (all those muddled flashbacks were probably designed to give you insight into Clare's character but were just super confusing because young Clare always looked 18 despite some flashbacks being set in her late twenties). But honestly, you get to the end of this show and you feel like the last episode is not a finale at all. What has changed? What journey has she truly been on? Yeah I guess she somewhat sorted her relationship with her daughter out, but barely and meanwhile her husband is or isn't cheating on her with the therapist?? A storyline that's foreshadowed early on then completely abandoned for the rest of the show...
This show was a mess of flashback scenes that start making sense once you realize the actress playing young Clare is a vampire and thus never ages. Actually wait, I might just have cracked the code there. Maybe this entire show was about vampires and no one's clocked it. What about the time she was addicted to drugs? Was that before her mom's death or after?! And when did she ever divorce her first husband and why and was that before or after she met her new one?! MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.
The whole coming to terms with the death of a loved one plot is good and thoughtful but it's being let down by everything else.
