We start off at peak drama straight away, with incredibly stressful plot points at 2 different periods in time—an eerie flash forward cold open, and the more traditional drama bulk of the story. On first glance, it could read like an issue of ill pacing, like these intensely scandalous things could’ve been built up more, to maximize the emotion behind them. But it becomes pretty clear that using every soap opera trope in the book is just the foundation of the whole show. Things happen, things that happen to be traumatic, but there is no discernible story outside of the affair tropes and the reveal at the end of the first episode.
