When the Street Lights Go On

Another one of Quibi's short form series, When the Streetlights Go On gives the audience a possibility of being something great but isn't suited to the format we're given.

A small town is rocked by the murder of girl next door Becky Monroe (Kristine Froseth) and as one student (Chosen Jacobs) tries to piece together what happened, the tragedy ripples through Becky's family and friends.

It's a dark start to the show and from there the story does get interesting as we begin to explore the murder and Becky's sister, who begins to spiral. Unfortunately the series veers off course after just a few episodes into pure teen drama territory instead of really getting into the thriller and mystery that we were promised.

As others have stated, the climax to the crime story is brushed off in a 60 second monologue, which I could forgive if it wasn't so ridiculous and ill thought out.

Who designed the wardrobe and hair for this show? Nothing looks like the 90s. Girls weren't wearing shaggy mullets in 1995. Mullets were not "grunge."

Other than that, the story is good.

I would have given this 10 stars because it could of been so much more!!! What happened to the writer/director of this film? Very disappointed because it was such a great story line.

I was expecting at least two more episodes to finish the narrative as elegantly as it started. Instead, it was too tidy and makes me look back at wasted space in the story that should have been better used on fleshing out the story.

Great show. was confused at first with each episode only being 9 minutes long but the show was done perfectly. acting was great storyline was amazing.
