Reckoning

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.

Not bad, not great, but it has enough suspense to pass the time!

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.

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!

Why go through the trouble of shooting 10 episodes, full of drama, and go to great lengths to build back stories that we invest in, making us want more and more. After we have committed our precious time you go and then bomb us with the most confusing and anti climatic ending!?!?!?!?
