The Box

So slow and bad.... I actually saw 4 parts and hoped it would catch up. NOT !

Peter Stormare and his US accent is from a different planet 🤣. OMG Anna Friel was great in Marcella but this is just really really bad.

Alexander Karim is great and also the best actor in this, but not even he can save me from turning it of.

Feels like a parody of all bad crimeshows ever made - but sadly its not.. Ridicilous dialogue and a mumbling Peter Stormare to top it of.

So bad you actually need to see it!

Right from the opening credits & throughout, the The Box is an uncomfortable watch, with tedious & dark scenes, accents which obviously aren't American, although they're supposed to be & all underlined by miserable music & overacted performances.

Friel was long ago over promoted from her British soap opera beginnings & her short comings are left wide open & on view here as there's no one around to support her with any glimmer of talent. The clumsily inserted ID politics & ridiculous man's suit add to the unintended comedy.

The blurb for the show sounds great, but getting anywhere near this story means wading through a morass of dreary nonsense. One wonders what happened to the 'Entertainment Business', as modern Hollywood seems bent on entertaining no one.

Nothing about this show works. The writing is bizarre, the accents are wild, and the single indoor set the whole thing takes place on is like some community theatre idea of what an American police station looks like. Oh and the costumes, my god, the costumes. Hilarious.

The whole thing feels like a cutaway joke from 30 Rock.

If you like the idea of Anna Friel playing a detective with unmanaged PTSD, watch Marcella instead.

*Ok this is my first review, but there seems to be a lot of overly harsh feedback on this show.*

The show is incoherent. People giving this a 10 must be on drugs.

I love Ana Friel...and now I don't.

Those looking for a new show for entertainment, look elsewhere.

Sorry, but pretentiousness is not a good quality.
