White Lines

I'm Portuguese and so my opinion is a bit biased based on the casting, but it doesn't deserve the one star ratings you see. It ain't a masterpiece but there are characters you care about and it's well shot Just give it a chance.

I didn't really know what to expect from White Lines considering all the mixed reviews but the more I actually read some of the reviews the more I thought I'd give it a chance. I'm glad I did because I found it pretty entertaining. It's about a woman named Zoe Walker (Laura Haddock) who leaves her quite life behind to go find her missing brother in Ibiza. There she gets into trouble and finds danger as she investigates her brothers disappearance. Nuno Lopes as Boxer steals the show. He is easily the best thing going in this show. They could actually do a spin-off on his character and it would be successful because so many people like his character. If you're bored and looking for a good thriller then give this a try!

I really enjoyed this for a pandemic binge. You either love it or hate it. Great scenery and gripping story. Worth watching seasons and highly recommended.

I didn't really know what to expect from White Lines considering all the mixed reviews but the more I actually read some of the reviews the more I noticed all the low scores were from the same two type of people. The first are the people who rate everything a 1 or 2, click on their reviews and you'll see that 90% of their reviews are negative. Some say they only watched 10mins but based an entire series based off the first 10min of the first show! The others are bots from competing streaming services that rate everything Netflix does low regardless if it's good or bad. You can tell those by the things they say like "Netflix makes another terrible show," even though Netflix has had more Oscar, Golden Globe, Emmy, etc award nominations than any other company on the planet! I do have to say that the first episode wasn't that good and I almost gave up but I stuck with it and glad I did because it got a lot better!

It seemed interesting at the beginning, a murder mistery in Ibiza, a beautiful place with something that felt intriguing. I couldn't stand the protagonist at all, Zoe is probably the dumbest character I've EVER seen in any movie or tv show. It is incredibly stupid the way she changes her mind all the time and how unaware she is about everything. She cannot comprehend anything and gets many other people in big problems. But she thinks that she can handle everything and that she does the right thing. I finished it just for the sake of getting to reveal what happen to Axel (which was a dumb guy who screwed everyone around him, selfish and egocentric guy). I just can't believe how the people in charge of this TV show let the protagonist look so dumb. After the 2nd episode I couldn't see her as a normal person but as a silly empty head girl. It could've bee a good tv show.
