I watched the first 4 episodes of the show and it was 3 too many. I kept expecting to understand the motivations of the characters and still couldn’t figure it out after episode 4.

```Why is Mother doing what she does ? Because she’s a narcissist, yeah ok. That’s it ?

Why is Amy/Freya still seeing mother when she seems to hate everybody else and has gotten out of the Kindred, rejecting the whole lifestyle that goes with it? Stockholm syndrome ? Who knows.
```

The story is ambitious but it’s throwing too much at you with too little character development.
Plus the story gets back and forth in time and characters aging (or « youngening ») is not handled well so it makes it hard to believe and got my focus out of the story.

On a more personnal note, I found Amy/Freya not to be a very likeable character, in spite of all the trauma she went though and the empathy that should have come with it.

I will not watch the rest of the series.
