Review of Deceit

Deceit (2023–2024)
4/10
Great acting, laughably stupid writing
27 November 2023
A 12-year old fanfic writer on wattpad could produce a better plot than this overused, regurgitated storyline. I'm amazed by the mental gymnastics that the writers had to go through to justify the decision making of the characters that if it manifested into reality, it would put cirque du soleil to shame. I genuinely thought we were done with the whole adultery plot lines after spamming it for more than a decade- this series proved that idea wrong.

Most of the actors were fantastic, they delivered their lines so flawlessly I was almost moved by it if the words coming out of their mouths weren't so asinine. The series started out good but before it could even hit the halfway mark it plummeted so fast a peregrine falcon would look like a feather tied to a parachute next to it.

8/10 for the acting, I would've given it a solid 9 if Kate didn't look like she was about to have a stroke during tense scenes. A bit more of rolling her eyes and I'm sure she would've suffered permanent eye damage from it.

1/10 for the effort of writing this mess.
