Law of Perdition

This series was well written and I enjoyed it. It is an independent film and thus not big budget production. I have been to independent film festivals so I am know what to expect and what I enjoy. There is a place for all types of films. Keep this in mind when watching and do not get caught up in negativity. The other reviews were very critical and I thought too harsh. Enjoy the experience. If you are looking for typical violence, nudity, sex scenes, special effects or fast paced action then I suggest you look for typical Hollywood fare. Thank you Amazon for presenting this series.

I would have enjoyed this far more if it had been shown in one part, or at least 2 or 3. But to chop it up into 9 episodes of around 15 minutes each made it very difficult to watch. Just as you'd get into the story again the end credits would be rolling and you'd have to watch yet another intro and titles before the story would start again. I got the distinct feeling that the director was doing it this way because it gave him the opportunity to do 8 cliffhanger endings. I'm here to tell him it wasn't worth it and the endings weren't that good anyway.

But do watch it. There is a good story in there despite the obstacles put in the way of enjoying it. I'm rating it a 4, it would have been a 6 if it hadn't been chopped into so many pieces.

This is a very suspenseful and enjoyable series. Well written and acted and I loved the moody feel of the cinematography. It took an episode or two to get going but once it did, I was completely engrossed until the satisfying and no frills conclusion. I would have preferred longer episodes (and less opening credits), and some of the sets and locations indicated that this was a low budget production, but these are small grievances. This is a professionally done and entertaining independent work, I'd love to see what these filmmakers could do with a larger budget.

I could barely make it through the first episode, which did not have an ending good enough to make me want to see the next episode. Someone else stated in their review that the performance of Andrew Hunsicker was incredible. They are right in one respect. He is an incredibly boring and unlikable actor on this show; both by his acting skills and looks. He looks like an old, very old "has been" that I still fail to see as a lead character in any production.

He seemed to have trouble with his American accent and at times sounded way more British than American. He needs to pick one and stick with it.

The show is boring, moves at an incredibly slow pace and I mean SNAIL pace. It's not well thought out in the sense that we don't learn anything about the main victim in the first episode and I had to fast forward through the second episode to try to understand what the point of this new series was going to be. It just did not grab my attention and whoever gave the main actor (Andrew) great reviews, MUST BE RELATED to him in some way.

I love giving new television series a watch. Most of the time, you get caught up in the first episode, somehow. Even if, at first, it seems you won't like it, something happens to grab enough interest to make you want to watch the 2nd, 3rd or more episodes. This time there is NOTHING there.

Don't waste time on this one. I promise, it sucks!

Once in 2017, and once today, 2019. If there's anything I enjoy more than ghost stories, it's police procedurals. Put the two genres together and I'm there. The two leads are very likable, especially the ghost girl. I'm also a big fan of finding indie projects to check out. I think it's awesome that someone can do a budget show like this and get it out to the whole world via streaming services. Law of Perdition checks a lot of boxes for me.
