Season 5, Episode 11
2/10
Embarrassing for the actors
7 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This show really has fallen from grace and now it appears everyone is just going through the motions to finish up the series.

This has to be ranked one of the worst episodes of the entire run.

If I was an actor on this show I would be embarrassed to be a part of this tripe. The outdoor trip with the falling polystyrene rocks was so hammed up and predictable to the point of cringe.

The Max/Wilder relationship has been shoe horned in to create some romance to the detriment of all that preceded with Dr Sharpe. We are meant to believe that being ignorant towards someone he was madly in love with and wanted reasons for the split just ghosts her to prove his commitment to Doc Wilder. To me it just makes him look like a total a** hat. I hope Ryan Eggold gets a better series to work on in future because he is far better than this stuff.

Same goes for Jocko Sims - liked his performance throughout and feel sorry for him for being put through that dual relationship rubbish that was dropped like a hot brick. Don't put it past the writers in the last 2 episodes for him to drop Gabrielle and commit his undying love to Dr Bloom so his love journey comes full circle - it's the kind of thing these hacks would do and believe they are being smart.

Streaming TV has created too many broadcasters trying to fill too much air time and diluted the quality of shows because there aren't enough decent writers out there to cope with it.

Sad times :(
