The Fix

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.

Attempting to re-try the OJ Simpson case as fiction is a low blow. But things in real life are turned into fiction all the time. I just don't think they got it right here. After seeing the final episode I thought back to the behaviour of the killer in previous episodes and it just didn't make sense. Same with how the prosecutor figured out who dunnit from reading the journal.

The music was too often over-dramatic. The introduction of minor characters in later episodes was silly. The writing was too often melodramatic. This gets a 5/10 and that's being generous.

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.

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

Marsha Clark and her writing partners Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain really took a spin on a story we know so well. They are keeping us guessing. Fantastic cast, great writing, surprising payoffs! Can't watch to see if Savy is guilty as he looks or if he's telling the truth. Will have to keep watching to find out!
