Apple's adaptation of Lauren Beukes' best-selling thriller casts Elisabeth Moss in her most challenging role to date, writes judyberman
archivist who shares an apartment with her punk-rocker mom and a cat. Then, without warning, reality shifts. Kirby comes home to find that she lives on a different floor of the same building, with a husband she remembers only as a co-worker, and a dog. Instead of explaining the twist, the show immerses viewers in her disorientation.What we do know about Kirby is that she was on track to become a star reporter before narrowly surviving a brutal assault.
Although suspense takes hold around the eight-episode season’s midpoint, the show moves slowly at first; as frustrating as that can be, it’s the only way to build a world that keeps mutating. Scenes recur, with minimal explanation. Settings, hairstyles, and characters change, often slightly but always suddenly. Instead of a single performance, Moss gives a cluster of them, finely calibrating Kirby’s posture, confidence, and anxiety level to reflect each new reality.
