Limetown

I have listened to the podcast and this show could have done better. Jessica Biel is not portraying the character accurately and is more interrogating people rather than interviewing them as journalists do. Lia was a professional in the podcast and not a cold, insecure, emotional mess that Biel is portraying. Honestly not a fan of the casting choice for her to play Lia. This was just a promotion for the terrible book that was more of a prequel about her character than the history of Limetown.

Not a bad start hopefully gets a bit better but its interesting enough

I have just finished the first two episodes and I cannot wait for the next installment. Jessica Biel is excellent in her role as the reporter investigating a 15 year old case of mass disappearance. There are flashback scenes which add to the mystery. I don't want to tell you any more because it might spoil it for you.

So far there has not been any crazy special effects or any cgi and this is a good thing as it's all about the story and atmosphere. The episodes are about half-an-hourish long and are quite riveting. I hope the coming episodes are as captivating as the first two have been.

I wanted to like this show. I was very intrigued by the Roanoke-esque premise. But it just doesn't work. Jessica Biel's protagonist Lia is not relatable and if we are being honest she isn't likable either. The fellow journalist she is saddled with, Mark, comes across as utterly bland, forgettable, and fussy. The story has the ability to kick into gear and be interesting with flashbacks and side characters but it never lasts and then you are jolted back to the grim present. I will keep watching to see how things pan out but it is out of stoic resolve not excitement over the plot or interest in the characters.

But it should have before releasing.

My wife made it thru 4 episodes and called it quits. I made the 8 that are out (until tomorrow) but I'm not sure why.

Premise sounded a lot better than execution.
