We’ve talked often about how the lack of traditional broadcasting constraints on streaming services can be as much of a curse as a blessing, with far too many movies, documentary sagas and “limited” series feeling stretched and padded.

It’s almost never a good thing when the lead character is questioning what the bleep is happening, telling another character she has a way of speaking in riddles, and then is once again asking what the bleep is going on. We feel you.
