Reckoning

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!

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.

I don't know why there are so many negative reviews about this series. It might not be "True Detectives" but its definitely holding its own. Each episode WILL leave you wanting more, which is a pretty good indicator of good TV in my book. Every time you're SURE you have it figured out, here comes another curve ball. The unknown/unfamiliar cast does a great job. Who doesn't have love for "Black Jack Rackam of Black Sails", "Sam Merlot of True Blood" and "Daniel Holden of Rectify"? Don't let other peoples negative opinions sway you from at least trying this series and forming your OWN opinion.

The writing and acting is like a cross between a Lifetime movie and a soap opera. I had high hopes that it would be of the same caliber as True Detectives...it's not. I only continued watching in disbelief and for the laughs.

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!?!?!?!?
