Something Undone

These short episodes are really watchable. Most of the cast will not be well-known in the UK, but they are professional, no question. The photography is great and the screenplay maybe a little overdone but I'll forgive that. Video and sound quality are both right up there - I guess many would expect no less. It's been said that at a half-hour show per episode it's a filler, but I'm not complaining about that as the choice is there to just keep watching. Ten episodes out there so far. ITVx is pushing out a lot of old and new material on its streaming service these days and it probably needs to in these competitive times.

I really enjoyed this series. I watched it all in two days, it was hard to stop. I heard a CBC interview where one of the creators was talking about the creation of the show and the interesting way it all came together. Huge fans of Mary Walsh and Shawn Majumder from This Hour Has 22 Minutes and it was so cool seeing them play serious, dark roles. The whole show was very well done, but quite scary at times. I resumed watching during the day because I was a little spooked. That being said, I hate scary things and tend to stay away. I've been recommending to show to all my friends. A quick, interesting watch.

Really enjoyed this series. I came across this title on cbc gem and was delighted to see many recognizable Canadian talent throughout the season. The visuals are beautiful. I was so delighted to see that part of the story took place in Newfoundland. Cbc Gem has many interesting films and series available for free but with many ads throughout. I really enjoyed Something Undone and am very pleased to have come across it. I recommended it to my daughter and she is loving it as well. For any Tom Power fans out there, you will be pleasantly surprised to see him playing himself in one of the episodes. I recommend giving this a watch you will not be disappointed.

Loved every moment of this show! Makes me proud to be Canadian. Finally some quality Canadian content that makes you think. I was on the edge of my seat for most of the season. The sound design is incredible and I really enjoyed the score throughout. I highly recommend enjoying the show with headphones. The cbc gem app is a little annoying to navigate but there are some great shows on the platform and it's free which feels rare these days. Was so great seeing Billy Campbell- huge fan of his work on Cardinal. The cinematography was beautiful!! Looking forward to seeing more from these creators.

This dropped on itvX -- a free streaming service in the UK -- yesterday (14 Dec 2023) -- and I binged it. It was highlighted in the TV listings magazine I read so I was hopeful it would be at least half decent. Unfortunately, it's worth just about what I paid to see it. There's so much filler and so little thriller that I recommend you give it a miss.

The real problem here is the weak screenplay (and the weak underlying story). But also, more competent actors in the two lead roles could perhaps have brought more of a sense of realism to things. I couldn't buy Michael Musi as the supposed stellar podcaster, nor Madison Walsh as this supposed groundbreaking Foley artist (her "outstanding" sound effects for the podcast were supposed to be its USP).

Farid (played by Michael Musi) is supposed to be in some serious degree of peril, and yet he ambles around as if he's conducting his interviews in a pretty benign environment. And the whole Jo (played by Madison Walsh) "subplot" as she clears her dead mother's house is so confusing that I really struggled to know what was supposed to be actually happening and what she was imagining.

Such a mess. Please give it a miss.
