The Fix

This shouldn't be a series, it makes perfect sense as a movie but not a series. Don't think may people will watch after first few episode unless it is one small season with an ending

The Fix delivers an interesting pilot. Marcia Clarke obliged, there are some parallels with the case of the victims Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman and it is interesting to watch what the pilot is doing with these. However, the plot get more complicated, some suspects are already presented and twists and interesting criminal behaviours were already present and showed that the rest of the story will be something quite different from what we are expecting. The actors were great and quickly presented but with enough to understand their life and motivations. The pilot offers a solid beginning and I hope the rest of the episodes will deliver quality writings, strong full characters and unexpected but realistically turns. I'm curious about what the rest of the show will deliver to the viewers.

Had high hopes for it, but minus a few moments here and there, it continuously feels over-scripted and over-acted - which is somewhat forgivable... especially if a show isn't meant to be taken too seriously, but it feels like they want to be serious drama and keep falling short. Sometimes it takes me a few episodes for me to connect with characters, but every time I watch this, I want to like it more than I actually do.

I'm a fan of Robin Tunney from The Mentalist days, and glad to see her back.

Directing was spot on for the pilot, and the writing so far has some nice twists building up. The pacing and editing flow nicely. Casting was also spot on, and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje's acting is very convincing.

So far this looks promising, only time will tell. It's an 8/10 from me.

EDIT May/20/19: Well, just finished the season (and series) finale, and although not as bad as the G.O.T. finale, it was still underwhelming. A lot of melodrama leading to an unsatisfying end. Nevertheless, great directing and acting, just lazy writing towards the end. Had to drop my rating score from an 8/10, to a generous 7/10 - mostly going to the cast and directing.

Can't get past the bad acting, horrible writing, and especially the lead actresse's constant fishlip pose with her mouth!
