” in which one character puts forward an urgent question, and gets a mind-bending answer. “Is he going to kill me?” one woman asks. “He already has,” the other responds. “Just not yet.”
By this point in a show that’s full of such temporal games, audience members may find that their interest has already faded, even as the ending has not yet arrived.acts in, executive produces, and directs episodes of this adaptation of Lauren Beukes’ novel that hops among timelines — and she does her jobs elegantly.
Here, Moss plays Kirby Mazrachi, an archivist for the Chicago Sun-Times who has lived through the trauma of assault; that incident in her past has left her uncertain what her present even is, as she shifts through timelines. It’s an unhappy existence in a punishing multiverse, as Kirby finds herself suddenly, say, married to a man she doesn’t recall ever having met, or unable to call to mind fundamental elements of her own story.

But there’s simply not enough story here to make for a credible eight-episode series, which means that things lumber when they should soar, and every story point is overexamined.
