Somewhere Between

This is not the most intense, most interesting TV show there is.. but it is not that bad as some reviews claimed.

The story is quite predictable as I get to episode four, I can already guess who is the bad guys here. The show has somewhat fast pace which is good, not much twist and turn but with some actions. This is a killing time kind of show. I can tell you there are way lots of garbage show in Netflix than this one.

The only thing that will hinder you from continue to kill time with this show is the lead actress - Paula Patton, i do not know how she became an actress, maybe the trend now is actresses cant act, singers cant sing..

She consistently has that "trying-so-hard, over-the-top" look on her face for the whole 10 episodes, her hairdo doesnt help either, she looks kind of old and haggard to be the wife of that DA guy. Even the child actresses (Serena & Ruby) acts better than her. And that Serena character is a spoil brat who is a constant pain to watch too. Seriously, Should have fired the casting director and probably the director for accepting such sub-par acting.

The story is an interesting idea and I agree with both negative and positive reviews. The acting is bad, particularly Paula Patton. Her facial expressions are very forced and over the top. Her eyebrows say stressed, her eyes say kiss me but her mouth is open 99% of the time. The daughter might as well reas her lines off of an A4 sheet in front of us. I'm not a fan of bratty children who are 8 going on 28. The Nico character delivers some pretty ridiculous lines I'll be honest. Dad did a good job but still not Oscar worthy. The only character I found interesting was Kyle (ghost) but even so we only know the character briefly. But negativity aside, I watched it and enjoyed the story. Watch it for yourself and see what you think.

Listen to the negative reviews. The acting in this is terrible and the child is irritating af and needs a proper slap. Can't even finish the first episode, I'm just sat eye rolling at every scene!

This is a strange little tale. It starts off badly, very badly. Hyper annoying children combined with some poor acting and a weak script almost had me close to turning off. Fortunately Episode 1 is no more than a premise set up and things improve significantly as the series progresses. An unbelievably drab looking Patton (still gorgeous) and Sawa as a burn out ex-cop do a decent job holding this together. It's not rocket science, but worthwhile for passing some cold winter nights in front of the TV.

Okay, so I actually NEVER review shows but come on people!? Somewhere Between is actually a really interesting show with dynamic characters and boat loads of suspense. I'm confused by all of the negative reviews.

No, I've never seen the original Korean series so I didn't have the same expectations going into this. However, I did read these reviews. I actually deleted my recording and wasn't even going to give it a chance. Thankfully my parents told me they loved it. So I watched the first episode... then the second... then the third. My only complaint? I can't binge the rest of the series yet.

Is it the best show I've ever watched? No. Is it good TV? Yes.

I recommend you give it a try as well.
