Melanie Lynskey received praise from Paste and Rolling Stone for her portrayal of Molly .
Jacob Oller of Paste called it a `` compellingly sketched mystery '' , adding that Lynskey 's portrayal of Molly is `` so delicately complex that you 're drawn physically closer to the screen trying to suss out how she 's really feeling '' , while Rolling Stone 's Alan Sepinwall feels the series is `` the latest example of how much humanity and grounding Melanie Lynskey can bring to the most surreal and macabre of stories — it 's a tradition that goes back to when she was a teenager in Heavenly Creatures '' '' .
