S01.E01: Chapter 1: Homme Fatale

[Meredith Quill]

Quote

An amateur sleuth receives a mysterious invitation to a reclusive tech billionaire's secret retreat.

Darby Hart is dubbed as a “Gen Z Sherlock”. For real??! How successful is she? She’s nowhere near Lisbeth Salander, let alone Sherlock. 🙄

Darby seems to be paying more attention into victim’s personal life than the criminal’s mind.

Flashbacks of Darby and Bill are more intriguing than everything that’s happening in the current timeline.

There’s an instant connection between Bill and little Zoomer. Is he the bio dad? When Bill was dating Darby 6 years ago, he knew nothing about Lee Anderson. Then he started dating his ex’s hero? That’s fishy, hmm. 🤨

[meep.meep]

Who walks around with their headphones outside their hoody?  Why does Bill have the ugliest hairstyle ever?  Lots of fishy things going on.

All the garage doors opening at once was hilarious.  "Hacks" frequently aren't.

"This has been redone!"  They're trying to sell a house - lots of things will have been redone.

Hate the actress who plays Darby.  Seems so one dimensional.

By Brit Marlin standards this is shockingly normal so far. Its clearly going to be dreamy, weird, and existential but the plot itself seems to be pretty easy to understand so far. Its a moody Glass Onion but its cold instead of hot, got it.

Not a bad start, Brit Marlin's stuff can be hit or miss but its always a ride.

The actor playing Darby goes by they/them pronouns

In the show or personal life?   I have never heard of this actor so I could only assume she was an actress.  Thanks for the info. 
   Too many facial expressions for long moments  maybe that’s the directors fault  but it bugs me

In their personal life per Wikipedia. Agree on the facial expressions. Like I said in my initial comment all I can think of is a bit younger Elisabeth Moss 😂

Is that the star of Handmaids ?    Those faces almost ruined the show!

Some additional thoughts and observations upon a rewatch:

Are they implying that the Silver Doe killer is a cop?

Quote

BILL: “Or at least let’s just tell the police where we are so they know where we’re going.”

DARBY: “What, so they can stop us from proving that one of their own was the killer?”

Is Zoomer real? Is he a robot?

• He can tell you how old he is down to the second. It feels like a computer program, don’t you think? He recites “Alternative Intelligence” like a daily mantra.
• Zoomer also doesn’t eat anything throughout the dinner. He reaches for some bread but Andy tells him ‘no’.
• Oliver (the robotic expert) doesn’t travel with the other guests. He could’ve arrived in Iceland much earlier to work on a “special” project.

Oxygen tank being delivered to Lee’s room. Is it for Lee or Zoomer? For medical or non-medical purpose?

I thought of a cross between Jodie Foster and Helen Hunt. In appearance, I mean.
