High Water (2022– )
7/10
Good, except for a couple of annoying things.
9 October 2022
Typical Hollywood movies tie everything up nicely at the end.

But some movies leave one guessing about a few things, and being left wondering about what happens next often makes a great movie.

Days after seeing the last episode, the main thing in my memory about the series is the unanswered question of "what happened to the ...?".

Unfortunately that is for a totally irrelevant detail, not for something intellectually or emotionally interesting.

The writers of this series obviously never heard of Tolstoy's gun, and the series needlessly suffers for the resulting frustration.

The other annoying thing is the way Netflix has been labelling languages in the subtitles lately. When people switch to speaking French or English or German, the subtitle begins with "{French}" etc., but when they revert to the prevalent language of the rest of the production, the subtitle says "{English}", not "{Polish}". This is very confusing and annoying.

But if you can handle such things better than I can, it's worth watching.
