Rabbit Hole

There are some inconsistencies and improbabilities, and it can be confusing at times, BUT it's entertaining just the same. The story itself is loosely reminiscent of Three Days of the Condor where are wondering if things are the way you think they are. The acting is great, and I've yet to see Kiefer Sutherland in anything I didn't enjoy. It's got a great cast with good chemistry, and some good dry humor to go along with the excitement. However, I still couldn't help but miss Kiefer's father, in one of the roles. I have to believe he was either busy, or wasn't interested in doing another series.

If you can allow some of that confusion to bounce off of you, I highly recommend it.

This show begins with the worst beginning of any show. A flash forward. Everybody hates those, I know, but sit through it.

It begins as an episode of The Flight Attendand, so if you haven't turned off the telly after the flash forward, you probably will now. Don't. Sit through it.

Then, as you notice that Weir is a pawn in a complex game of chess, you remember that pawn in German is Bauer.

Then, as you notice this pawn is setting a complex trap, you remember the word for fish trap. Weir.

The bauer becomes the weir. The hunted becomes the hunter.

Now you are in the right mindset for this show which is the most well written mystery since the early episodes of Lost.

Love it.

I admit I went into this with rather low expectations given the general lack of buzz around this show and the way that Keifer's last couple of shows (Designated Survivor, Touch) started off strong and then went completely off the rails after a few episodes. With a tight 8 episode run, though, Rabbit Hole, in its first (maybe only?) season, managed to keep up the intrigue and be thoroughly entertaining throughout. Were there some implausibilities along the way? Of course. But nothing that led to a major eye roll or that would cause me not to recommend this show. If you're looking for a fun, fast paced thriller, then you should definitely check this show out.

For many movies the audience needs to be in the mood for it. For example watching John Wick, you don't want to write a review "2 stars because none of this would be real", sometimes you just have to take yes for an answer and be entertained. Normally this would be a 7 because of some plot and contrivance issues but Charles Dance makes it an 8 for me. You see the writers did pay attention to small details and they tell a story bit by bit in a way to keep you interested. I'm 4 episodes in but leaving a review because I think this show deserves more attention. The characters are not stupid (except for Hailey in the beginning which comes off as a simpleton femcel but improves and the actress playing her does a great job adding layers to her)

There are at times when the plot becomes too elaborate and esoteric but it's still very entertaining.
