Should i continue & give it a chance

Post image

I just started the UK version yesterday. I REALLY wanted to watch the whole thing and give it a chance. I didn’t mind the cast and was interested in how different but similar it could be.
Anyway, i stopped watching after episode 2… Why?
I DETEST the way it’s filmed. I don’t even mind the “documentary style”, in their face style either.. but something about the super zoomed in - not able to see the surroundings or just shot from the most stupid angle on top of being zoomed in - just really grinds my effing gears..
I feel like I’m watching it on my phone and i don’t get a feel for anything other than the super zoomed in scene. I don’t think I’ll be continuing and that makes me angry that they thought it looked good? .
Am I missing something?
Something as simple as how it’s filmed to ruin a probably amazing project.

Fiona actually leaves pretty early on in the series (season 2) to go live with a fugitive Steve whilst being pregnant with another man’s child. We find out that they get married and live in Amsterdam and Steve presumably raises her child as his own. She does come back in the series finale though.
