This show started with a lot of promise -- it was a slow burn... painfully slow at times if we are being honest... but it was intriguing and something about the pace, the soundtrack, and the artsy camerawork ... just worked.
The mystery of what REALLY happened to Alice's parents along with the mysterious/possibly supernatural/mythic/mystic hints of the Selkie really kept me hooked.
However, the series took a sharp nosedive after replacing the young Alice actress with adult Alice.
She experienced a trauma in her youth but seemed to come through it pretty well. She had panic attacks but seemed well adjusted. She then grew up on a women's ranch with people who had been through trauma and could help her cope/heal (according to them) yet she becomes some emotionally damaged beyond repair, borderline crazy person in her adulthood?
THIS episode just killed any interest I had in the series. One episode left and I will probably just read a summary of it when it is done. This changed from a mystery to a show about an adult woman making bad decisions despite all she witnessed growing up and learned from abused women for 30 years of her life. And the cycle just continues?
The story just seems to have no direction or point or purpose.
