The first two episodes were outstanding. It's a tense, suspenseful thriller that starts like a typical story of a team pulling off a slick con job, but then takes a left turn towards a set of events that I'm not entirely sure I'm following yet. Even the flashbacks aren't what they seem. This could easily have been a confusing jumble of a start, but the storytelling stays tight and gripping. True to its title, you are taken down a path where there is reality, but it's difficult to know what that is when it's conflated with Weir's paranoia, and the introduction of new confounding reveals that changes things when things seem to become predictable. The acting has been superb so far--not a single cast member--lead, supporting, or extra--seems out of place or forced. I hope that this continues to be the case. The potential complexity of the story risks resorting to a deus ex machina plots devices or resolution, but hopefully, the writing can hold up to the high standard set at the start.
