The directing on this show is a bit of a mess, tbh.
For example, I’m not understanding the slo-mo b&w bit when they touch – I get that it’s supposed to be “meaningful” but it’s just awkward.
Actually everything is a tad stilted, although I’m willing to put it down to first episode exposition jitters, and hopefully things will get better once characters and motivations are established. It’s not bad enough to be annoying but this is probably not going to be a show I’ll remember for its script, direction, or cinematography.
