Parish

It felt like we were dropped into the middle of a season instead of the start of a brand new show. There's zero character development. You just have to figure it all out on the fly. We have no idea why Parish is who he is or why the bad guys are even the bad guys. Then there's Parish's family. These are all complicated characters but we get zero backstory. They just jump into the middle of things. And with that they give us only six episodes?

They also seemingly did things on as cheap of a production budget as possible. Some scenes it sounds like they were filming in a telephone booth.

This show might get a season 2 due to Esposito's popularity. Otherwise surely this would get canceled.

Awesome Production value and engaging scenes its got that NOBODY and EQUALiZER ambiant feel look. Smooth script theatrical score with grest cinematog ... The obb reminds or ringfs me that criminal minds early days . Every episode is dramatic the establishment of seqence is legitimately so natural and its like you are party of every angle of the story. POV is brought to new charaters and pivoting back to PARiSH .

Director did a great job telling the story ... a slow organic one that can grow overtime with so much potential. A Serious show for serious veiwers only.

A lot of spinoffs can come out of this. For now enjoying this one and looking forward to every episode. Keep up the good tracks Scenes and cliffhanging scenes.

Decent show but argh my God the shona accents were super hard to go through! Thats my only gripe witht his show, it was absolutely shameful how bad the accents were. Surely theres good zimbabwean actors they could have given a shot. I only watched this coz im a HUGE Giancarlo Esposito fan and it wasnt too bad at all, definitely passed the time between my regular shows i watch but couldnt watch this all in one go like i watched Kaleidoscope! I hope Hollywood starts actually researching languages and accents to make sure they cast the right actors for these roles because i had a serious issue with the accents im sorry.

A soporific "limited" series where you just "woke up" from cars' engine roars, chases, gun shot bangs and wounds. Besides the good acting and semi-thrilling atmosphere it has nothing to offer, the worst and the most detrimental to the show was his family and any children in it. They sucked up any thrill, drama and crime soap-opera that you got involved with in its 6 tiny episodes.

Giancarlo Esposito performed at his usual peak with gray hairs and minuscule screenplay plots this time, but overall the series is a waste with too little episodes.

If they wanted a text title about the Parish; Two words would be enough. 'Bad Director' You have a very good leading actor who is a world star >>>>Giancarlo Espasito.

There is a very good script with a 5-season guarantee.

But all of this was entrusted to a bad director who could not visually prepare and present it to the audience.

Is a bear running after the director? What's your rush? Is there a new art you want to give us with disconnected visuals?

David Benioff, D. B. Weiss, Alexander Woo.

You have to work harder to do a better job.

And that bad music? What is your problem? Half the battle is good music. You should find better music.
