Plot: Follows the relationship between two women playing a deadly game of truth and lies. One woman has a secret, and the other has a mission to reveal it before thousands of lives are lost.
This series was Good but not great in my opinion.
Pros: Elisabeth Moss & Yumna Marwan did work well together. At times it can get intense And Riverton to see on screen. I was infested into the drama of this show & it does have you at the edge of your seat.
Cons: The story started to get convoluted and hard to follow to me. There’s not a lot of action involved and the finale went along for little long.
