Reckoning: Ajuste de Contas

A lifeless thriller/drama centered around the lives of generally unlikable characters. The acting is pretty good, but the characters lack depth, I didn't feel compelled to care about any of them. The storyline is slow and boring, the detective work is nonexistent and its endlessly predictable.

It's not a bad show by any stretch, the acting is great all around, but the script has a few too many dumb moments that hold the show back a bit.

There is one bit in particular where a lady asks a priest why God wants people to confess in addition to repenting, and the priest's response is "because that is what he asks."

Seriously? That's the best they could do?

There are a couple of other minor moments here and there, but that's the one that really stood out.

Also,, we didn't really need this show. Serial killers in general are a bit passe, and there really isn't anything original here. It's a show to watch if you like a crime-thriller-drama-things that doesn't require much thought, and it helps the acting is pretty decent.

On the other hand at least it isn't trying to reinvent the wheel, and thank Christ there isn't a quirky medical examiner.

It's alright, it's not one of those dramas that will have you desperate to see the next episode or reach the conclusion, partly because there isn't much of a mystery, the only true mystery is how on Earth can some of the killer's nearest and dearest be so stupid.

It's interesting enough, I like that we see the killer functioning fairly normally with everyday life, and masking their true nature, but incredulity becomes an issue. We are left with lots of loose ends.

The acting is decent, although it is a bit patchy in parts, nice production values.

It is overlong, they could have made it a little more exciting, and had it in six parts, instead they allowed the middle section to drag, the penultimate and opening episode were the best installments, the finale was very disappointing, it doesn't actually progress at all.

A second series isn't needed, it's a decent watch, 6/10.

I have never, and I do mean NEVER, watch a series or movie where I didn't like a single character...until now. I kept watching hoping it would get better or a stray character might wander into the plot that would not be badly written or cliched. Extremely disappointed!

It's one of the few shows I've seen in which there's not a single character who is likable at the show's end. I kept watching because I thought they'd throw the big curve and blow me away with who the killer really was. But N-o-o-o-o-o! I had it figured in the first episode and nothing they did changed my mind. It had its moments, but it also had too much cardboard language and cheesy acting when you least expected it. And the ending was a huge downer.
