Apple TV Plus' new drama isn't doing anything original, but it's gripping nonetheless
This ranges from spinning wild tales in soap operas through to all-time classic films like Memento, The Bourne Identity or Mulholland Drive. Then there’s the idea of on-purpose memory loss, as seen in, or Men In Black’s memory-zapper. Even The Hangover trilogy could arguably be classed as characters dealing with a series of abrupt blackouts .
“Do you know what it feels like to not remember anything? Everyone keeps telling me who they think I am…but if my life was so perfect then why did I try to end it?” We join Sophie Ellis shortly after what she’s been told is a suicide attempt: she jumped off a boat just off the coast of San Francisco, where she’s been living a charmed life.
Mbatha-Raw is totally compelling in this role - a lesser actor would have fallen back on pulling a series of tortured, confused faces to convey her bewilderment. But her multi-layered and nuanced performance means we’re really there with her as as slowly she begins to uncover moments from her past, and we see how each new clue impacts on her life.
