"In one scene, her character, pushed to the brink, defends her dachshund from a snarling coyote, body-slamming it to its death in a paroxysm of white-hot anger."
"Season two trades the road rage plot of series one for the rarefied world of an elite country club, where the crumbling marriage of Mulligan's Lindsay Crane-Martin is laid bare."
"A tale of blackmail, coercion and escalating bad faith follows, as Lindsay deals with the 'immense pain of knowing that you picked the wrong person'."
"Lee Sung Jin has fashioned a second season that ducks and weaves, finding space for zeitgeisty social commentary and arch humour amid all the chaos."
