Wednesday (2022)
Bad plot lines
The show itself seems reasonble with an ok premise but the writing is bad. They set up situations that are obvious, just to move the story along. Good example...when Wednesday goes to see the psychiatrist, the principal says she's there to stop her escaping, but just sits in the car outside of the office building. She doesn't check if there are multiple ways for Wednesday to get out of the doctor's office and sure enough...low and behold...Wednesday escapes out of the bathroom window. So predicatable. I also agree with another reviewer...casting Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzman as the parents...an epic fail.
The Chelsea Detective (2022)
Disappointing
Only watched the first episode, so I can only hope it improves. Started off well. Believable characters, no silly stuff, good old plain British police drama. Half way through things changed. So many holes in the plot. So easy to figure out who the girl in the photo was. Some awful lines...white with blue swirls. Sigh...Buttons popping off to leave a clue...very convenient.
The Bay (2019)
Lacking
Broadchurch wannabe that missed by a mile!
No drama, no suspense, poor writing, predictable scenarios, stock characters. By the end I couldn't have cared if any of the characters lived or died. And way too many red herrings. Hope the other seasons show some improvement.
Blood (2018)
Awful Writing
The story line is so unbelievable with gaps galore. The acting is passable. Lots of loose ends...questions never answered.
Basically youngest daughter believes not one word her father says...and then in the final act (with no proof whatsoever) believes him entirely.
Sad day for British/Irish dramas.
Collateral (2018)
Worst British Crime Drama I've Ever Seen
What an awful series. From the overly artistic filming - so much out of focus, and so many artsy shot - to the uneven nonsensical storyline, to the pathetic ending...well....waste of time.
New Blood (2016)
What a Disappointment!
I was excited to see a new British Crime Drama advertised on Netflix. The first episode was average and it's been downhill ever since. The writing is atrocious. The acting is very poor. The pathetic dialogue between the two main stars is painful to watch. Usually British dramas have a note of plausibility to them...not so with New Bloods. They're trying for drama with a note of humour and neither is working.
