The director oscillates back and forth between balancing mother-daughter relationships, feminism, shattered dreams and characteristics of the times, leaving the audience unable to focus on what he is trying to say. Hbo's mini-series often talk about several issues, showing people's choices under the background of the times in an all-round way, which is why he often releases high-quality products. But this mini-series obviously exposed the lack of funding for the crew. In the last episode, the whole story has just been drawn out of all the contradictions, betrayal and return. It has just begun, and many questions remain unresolved, and the audience's emotions are still looking forward to it, but But it stopped abruptly. It feels like there is no end, and the role of the daughter is also very crude, she seems to start looking down on her mother all of a sudden.
Why?
Because she grew up in a pampered wealthy family. But none of this showed up.
The pleasure of mini-series lies in its comprehensiveness and delicacy. Think of the mini-series before hbo, the gap is very obvious.
Nowadays, even hbo is in a situation where funding is limited, which is very regrettable to me.
