Didn’t like: The superfluous subplots
Poppy Liu plays Greta, a sort of maid/chef/personal assistant to the Mantles who keeps their home in order, which is no small task. (It’s a layered, chameleonic performance, so no slight to Liu.) We can tell by Greta’s peculiar habits that she has an ulterior motive for sticking around, but the eventual reveal isn’t as shocking or cathartic as Dead Ringers seems to think it is. Then, as Greta’s storyline is playing out, we meet Silas, a journalist played by Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine. Again, it’s a fine performance, but the character feels more like a plot device shoved in to help the series find its ending.
