We get it, the phone is ringing.
22 January 2024
Who did the sound editing for this, my god. Cell phones do not ring or vibrate that loud, just have your characters pick up the phone, us viewers with our smooth brains will understand that someone was calling. LOL.

Anyway, this was more purely average TV with expensive cameras. The acting is not very good. The script is so so. The story is meh. The special effects for the lame marketing idea to get the show trending on the internet with "corpsickle", suck. The fact of the matter is, that this is child's play film making compared to the script, acting, and directing of season 1. Issa is lucky to have this opportunity and she's not up to the challenge that this brand name demands. Nic and original director set a high bar from season 1. And it seems the show should have never continued after that height. It's all about the Benjamin's at this point.

Anyway, sprinkle in some ties to season 1 for fan service, buy one big name actress, and some good songs.... voila. There's nothing original here. The only really good scene in this episode was thanks to Tim Buckley and his brilliant "Song to the Siren". The rest was kind of average stuff. Not terrible, not great, not sophisticated, and not worth the time unless you're really really bored. 6 starts for expensive cameras and a Tim Buckley song choice.
