It's truly a shame that the makers of this show couldn't choose a direction and stick with it. Every episode felt like a completely different show featuring many of the same characters. And while I admire the creative ambition, maybe instead of doing a lot of things in a very mediocre way, they should try to narrow the focus and do one thing really, really well.
I was so disappointed because I love JGL and I have suffered from anxiety for years, so I was interested to see him handle such a complex and timely subject. But oh man. I was left feeling even more anxious with every passing episode. I had to stop after the fifth episode and had to force myself to go back and finish the series. I really wish I hadn't. It didn't get any better.
All of the characters are unlikeable, and although the acting is superb, the material is confusing and contrived, and the show itself was just an assault of too many different film making styles all smashed together.
Even if you love JGL, unless you're prepared to sacrifice yourself to this assault on the eyes with little to no emotional connection or payoff, then I'd suggest giving it a miss.
