Review of The Head

The Head (2020– )
7/10
Entertaining, then peaters out
23 February 2022
I can't deny that I was entertained enough through this series to binge watch most of it. The atmosphere lent itself well to a thriller, and I will always vote to see unfamiliar faces on the screen rather than the same people all the time. Some of these actors were great, a couple not so much, but the cinematography and editing were quite good.

Story wise, I'm not a fan of the twist ending genre. While The Head still managed to keep my interest, the last couple episodes were a bit rushed and messy. The final truth is dropped on you like a "gotchya!" moment rather than something for the viewer to understand and discover on their own. I didn't entirely buy it, and to be honest I was pretty disappointed that everything had built to reveal such a far out explanation. Just because you don't know for sure who dunnit, doesn't mean it's clever.
