Saints & Sinners (2016–2023)
5/10
Ingredients but no cake
21 October 2021
Great premise and good performance delivery by a Strong main cast. However, as the story progressed, it lacked depth and seemed hollow and sketchy at times. Also, the way too frequent B/C-list cameos seemed no more than a gratuitous and over-hyped way to boost the storyline. I was also overwhelmed by the level of violence, greed and depravity, with scant good, remorse, or redemption. The ironic thing for me is that of all the characters, as the story progresses, Rex (I'm not condoning his behavior) turns out to have the most integrity. Regardless of his antics, he openly proclaimed exactly who he was. This series rings true with Christ's declaration that, "The people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light." Luke 16:8. This is one verse of a passage from verses 1-9 in which he acknowledges that the worldly use shrewdness to their advantage, and that Christians should be equally shrewd yet use their skill for good. There was a lot of shrewdness, cunning and conniving in "Saints and Sinners" but 99% of it was done for bad. We've all sinned and come short, but when we know better, we should do better.
