), five months removed from an accident that caused near-complete amnesia. She has no memory of who she is or the people around her and is trying to piece together her life based on all kinds of clues: old phone messages, medical and financial records, brief flashes of dreams or memories, and the various things her friends and family tell her.
The core mystery, at least initially, has to do with Sophie’s accident. It’s treated as a suicide attempt, with Sophie apparently jumping off of a boat in the middle of nowhere yet miraculously surviving. But almost immediately, she begins to doubt what happened. For starters, her life seems pretty idyllic, with some close friends, a big house, and a well-off husband , so she doesn’t understand why her past self would want to leave it all. She becomes suspicious pretty quickly.
The main suspect is her husband, James, who shifts from doting partner to obsessive, manipulative creep — and as anyone who has seenknows, Jackson-Cohen is very good at playing an obsessive, manipulative creep. But there’s also the detective assigned to her case who won’t leave her alone, her unnaturally peppy bestie who is clearly hiding things, and even her therapist, who is intent on reminding Sophie that her memories are never, ever coming back.
There’s not much about the show or this concept that’s original. Hell, there’s even a scene where Sophie follows the address on a matchbook she stumbles across. Butattempts to make up for its lack of originality by 1) being very stylish and fun to look at and 2) piling on the mysteries to an almost overwhelming degree. The first three episodes feature almost zero answers.
Of course, this is all well and good for getting viewers hooked. It has certainly worked for me so far. It helps that both Mbatha-Raw and Jackson-Cohen are extremely good at ratcheting up the tension. But there’s no real sense of whereis going at this point, and there’s only so long that questions can sustain a show — that’s true no matter how creepy the main suspect is.are streaming on Apple TV Plus on July 29th, with the rest of the eight-episode series releasing weekly.
