The story line kicked off to a great start, the acting was good for a while and then the movie started going up and down. Having lived in the woods for decades in a summer home, being around wolves, this movie for me was someone's depiction of how things might be based on pure imagination. The acting had some cheesy scenes, the hunting aspects was lame, not realistic, lame accidents, like someone took ideas and pasted them on a board, it didn't fit in well and was awkward to watch at times. They took a good story and in my opinion ruined what good have otherwise been an entertaining movie. I would have given this a 6 if the movie was remotely believable. I don't recommend it. It was barely a 4 out of 10.

From the very first episode, it's clear that this isn't your typical throwaway series. There's real production value here-everything from the lighting to the costume design and soundtrack screams attention to detail. The show captures an atmosphere that's both grounded and stylized, which is no easy feat. It's good-really good. And what's more impressive is how it manages to feel fresh while still borrowing heavily from familiar genres and eras.

Season 1 sets the bar incredibly high. That's not just lip service-it establishes characters with depth, pacing that never drags, and plotlines that keep you invested without being overly complicated or forced. It leaves just enough questions unanswered to build momentum into a second season, while still offering satisfying story arcs along the way. If the showrunners can keep up the quality, I truly hope we'll see a few more seasons. That said, following up such a strong opener will be a tall order. Season 2 will need to honor the foundation without falling into the trap of repetition or gimmickry. But based on what we've seen so far, I'm optimistic.

I'll definitely be watching this one again. It's the kind of show that invites a second viewing-not because it's confusing, but because there are layers to it. Little visual cues, background details, bits of dialogue-all the things you miss when you're focused on the main plot. The acting across the board is strong. Not overdone. Not flat. Just right. The cast clearly understood their characters, and you get the sense that even supporting roles were thoughtfully cast and directed.

The props, set design, and cinematography are outstanding. They're not flashy for the sake of it. Instead, they serve the narrative, anchoring the story in a very specific time and place that feels both real and nostalgic. What really stood out for me, though, was the writing. It walks a fine line between sharp and sentimental, between commentary and storytelling. The dialogue feels natural, never preachy or on-the-nose, and the themes-while clearly reflecting modern issues-are delivered through a 1970s lens that gives everything a certain timelessness.

It's like someone took fragments of recent history-political tension, social unrest, economic anxiety-and reimagined it as a retro drama set in the '70s. But rather than being stuck in the past, it uses that era to reflect on the present. That kind of writing takes skill, and I think it's what makes the show especially appealing to a broader audience. It doesn't try too hard to be edgy or nostalgic-it just is.

As someone who genuinely loves the 1970s aesthetic-the fashion, the music, and especially the muscle cars-this show checked a lot of boxes for me. So yes, maybe I'm a bit biased. But even setting that aside, I think the show earns its praise. It balances mood and message, plot and personality. It's entertainment that respects the viewer's intelligence.

If you're a fan of high-quality TV that doesn't insult your attention span, this is absolutely worth your time. Whether you're in it for the drama, the world-building, or just to hear a V8 engine roar beneath a perfectly restored hood, you'll find something to enjoy. Here's hoping Season 2 doesn't keep us waiting long.

This movie wasn't bad-it had real potential-but the main character felt like a casting dare gone wrong.

His acting was either sleepwalking through scenes or sabotaged by a script that didn't know what to do with him. There was no good reason for his character to be this awkward. He wasn't charming, he wasn't villainous-he was just... there, dragging the story down like a human speed bump.

Honestly, the movie would've been way better if he were either more likable or leaned full-tilt into being a jerk. At least then we'd know how to feel about him.

Even the ending was decent-but once again, the lead's performance yanked the rug out from under it.

Remake this movie with a better lead, and it could go from "eh" to "excellent" in no time.
