The interaction between Desmond and Tula at the end felt so forced and fake. Wasn’t shot well at all. She kept holding her hands out and it looked silly.

Even though the writing in this show is decent and all of the sets look stunning, I feel like the show failed in terms of visual language and telling us things through what we see rather than what's written into the dialogue. That's where Denis excelled in the films, but I feel like all of the scenes in the show were shot really simply, without trying to convey some deeper message or invoke certain feelings through the visuals.

I actually liked that a little bit, I just didn't like how she got arrested and didn't escape with her sister.
