So regardless of how it ends, I can already say it is worthwhile.

It's not as mind-bendy as Russian Doll, even using the same theme of consciousness-transfer/time travel.

It begins present day with our protagonist Lea finding unknown skeletal remains. The next day she wakes up exactly 30 years prior in the body of the person to whom the remains belonged, 7 days prior to his death. She spends the next week trying to uncover the truth about his death; each day waking in a different body of the group of friends/enemies surrounding the victim--including her own parents! Some awkward moments to be sure. Lots of secrets and lies revealed.

The fact that I'm avoiding finishing the last episode is evidence that I don't want it to end, so a good endorsement. I plan to rewatch it just to try to untangle some of the time-travel paradox issues....(as if, lol)

Hope you enjoy it as well
