The Break (2016–2018)
6/10
Plot twist galore, bad policing yet an entertaining series.
29 March 2020
This show evolves around a police officer who moves to his childhood town and has to solve a murder on his first case back. Only problem is he has a troubled past, is not stable and is not a very good cop either. Jumping from conclusion to conclusion without properly investigating. This makes for an intense watch as you feel like he could either selfdestruct or solve the case at any moment.

The acting is good in my opinion but the story drags on a bit too long with sideplots that just distracts from the main story. Mainly the teen drama presented by the daughter and friends is misplaced and takes away from the show.

All in all it was as entertaining as it was annoying.

Season 2 has some small changes, the plot twist are still here in bunches but the daughter her presence is reduced. Also the emergence of characters with an "Fargo" esque style of stupidity is a welcome relief to counter the still very unstable and intense lead. The show still relies on the many plot twists, has alot of bad policing and is yet capable to keep my attention.
