What/If a mysterious stranger made you an offer too extraordinary to refuse?

From Revenge creator Mike Kelley, What/If stars Renée Zellweger as ultimate game player, Anne Montgomery. When Anne presents a young, cash-strapped couple with an incredible opportunity, they have to decide what they're willing to risk for a chance to have it all.

Neo-noir social thriller WHAT/IF explores the ripple effects of what happens when acceptable people start doing unacceptable things. The first season of the Netflix original series focuses on a mysterious woman's lucrative, but dubious offer to a cash-strapped pair of San Francisco newlyweds.

The Netflix original series WHAT/IF stars Renée Zellweger (Cold Mountain, Jerry Maguire), Jane Levy (Castle Rock, Suburgatory), Blake Jenner (American Animals, Glee), Samantha Ware (Glee), Keith Powers (Famous in Love), Daniella Pineda (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom), Juan Castano (Shades of Blue), John Clarence Stewart (Marvel's Luke Cage) & Dave Annable (Brothers & Sisters).

This sounds like the old TV series "The Millionaire." I think I just aged myself.

Just watched the first two episodes tonight. Interested to see how this all ties together and what exactly Anne's game is.

I was surprised to see how much Zellweger's appearance has changed from her shocking appearance a few years ago when everyone was guessing she had plastic surgery. She definitely looks a lot better now, more like simply an older version of her younger self.

Did you finish it? I’m about halfway through and I don’t see what the point of the doctor affair and gay brother storyline are.

And yes you are correct about Zellweger.

Finished it a few days ago. I was a little underwhelmed. Overall it ended up feeling like a Netflix version of a soap opera, where people just walk around miserable and doing shitty things to each other via their vast fortunes, and then occasionally fucking. That can be the only explanation for the side stories of the doctor and brother: just random crap going on with a bunch of people who are either related or know each other.

Yea... I was traveling, so this was my flying entertainment. It was entertaining for most of the time... but, upon completing, it was shit, and I would not recommend it.

I binged this over the weekend. It was good trash entertainment. I guessed the twist in the first couple of episodes. A better writing team would have made that twist a little bit more entertaining.
