Great performances by Jesse Eisenberg, Lizzie Caplan, Claire Danes and the child actors. Let's confront the modern reality: in a story where nobody gets shot (at least through Episode 4) the cognosenti infantili will have fit of pique. There's no action! The pacing is slow! The characters are flat! Adult stories, infantili, often unspool at a languid pace. Run along and play, this one's not for you. So many complaints about the narration by Libby (Lizzie Caplan), because, well, it's out of the ordinary! So drown it in the bathtub! Or, maybe, notice that there's a chemistry between between Toby and Libby. They have a thing, though they don't know it yet -- well Toby doesn't -- which makes Libby's perspective all the more interesting. OK, one complaint. I didn't buy Toby's tears in Episode 4. It's not Eisenberg's fault -- tears are inconsistent with Toby's character.
