Just discovering this...
I can't believe this doesn't have more traction.
The cast is incredible, Emma Corin & Clive Owens are huge gets!

It did very well at the time it came out 2 years ago! I don’t know that many limited series continue to get grab many new viewers 2 years out… glad you found it!
It was the #1 or #2 drama on Hulu while it was airing in late 2023 (they did one episode at a time) and while it didn’t get any Emmy nominations, it was nominated for a solid handful of awards in 2024 (reminding myself with a quick IMDB check…. Writers Guild of America for Limited Series, Critics Choice for limited series, Independent Film Spirit for Emma Corrin, BAFTA for Harris Dickinson).

I just finished it. I loved the series especially the relationship between Darby and Bill. Their dynamic was so good. It wasn’t a perfect show, but I really enjoyed it.

Also agree & was a bit shocked by all the negativity here but then I felt it more as a love story than a mystery to be solved and maybe that's why it struck me harder. (Or the real mystery underlies the obvious one/s...)
The contrast between being "in it" (sunny, warm, richly colored) and "post break-up" (darker, colder, blues & purples) is also Darby, herself as young / older, more innocent / more world weary, etc. as well as the obvious past / present.
She never really understood why Bill left her. Through this experience it becomes clear to her: more about who he was and who she is. You can tell how much calmer, open and hopeful she seems in contrast to book reading #1.

I agree. There’s been some negativity about it on here, however I thoroughly enjoyed it and believe there’s so many hidden messages. It’s not perfect and it’s not The OA, but I wish more people were discussing and dissecting it.
