I couldn't have predicted where this series went because it's just not anything that's ever been done before. It's weird and strange and not for everyone (which is why there are reviews that aren't positive). But it's a powerful, original story and Brit Marling brings a credibility to a role that is tricky because nothing like it has come before.
It's a really dark, mystical fairytale from modern times. How often do we see a modern fairytale? Something that isn't derivative from stories of the past reimagined into modern times. This isn't Cinderella in the present day. It's not Game of Thrones in an alternate world. It's our world that we know.
Give it a chance :)
