Looking at the trailer, I was surprised that this was a TV series. It felt more like a 2 hour movie.
Looks like we have an Alias reunion. Saw a quick glance of Victor Garber.

Second streaming service limited series based on a bestseller that Reese has EP credit on in the past week. She's busy.

We watched it because of Jennifer Garner...it was not good. So much so I hardly remember it or felt the need to post about it.

42% RT score and 47% audience score. Ouch. It must have gotten good numbers for Apple despite the terrible reviews.
