Chris Doyle

This film is worse than truly awful. Average acting and film making, a nonsensical plot and some of the worst writing ever brought to film. The characters are vile, selfish, stupid, and continuously follow such ridiculous plot arcs it is impossible to think of them as real people. There is a total lack of the ability to communicate with each other, constantly showcasing the absolute worst human qualities while being unable to give any realistic motivation, animus or context to the characters that would explain their words or actions. Mahershala Ali’s daughter in particular is an arrogant, lazy, entitled, self-absorbed, rude, racist, condescending, aggressive individual with no redeeming qualities whatsoever- least of all the intelligence she is supposed to be conveying. There is a constant underlying theme of preaching to the audience about how bad people are, society is, and you are. The writers truly think the audience is as stupid as they are. Kevin Bacon provides 5 minutes of quality towards the end but it is a tiny drop in an ocean of something much worse than mediocrity. If I could give zero or negative stars I would. Don’t waste your time on this.

Deliberate, engrossing, well made. One of the better shows out there. In my top 10.
