The Assassin

Why did Keeley do this awful series? Didn't she read the script? Terrible casting too. Freddie is terrible. The story is a mess. Lots of sarcasm, which is poorly delivered. There are plenty of better series out there. This one is just very poor. Lots of dreary characters. Jack Davenport had a short and daft appearance too. Avoid if I were you.

Disappointing is how I describe my experience.

Annoying characters, maybe that was what they were going for, but why? You are supposed to be on their side, but aren't really.

Most of the cast is Australian, with no explanation of why they are in Europe. EG why an Australian lawyer, just not believable. Is the family supposed to be based on the Murdochs? Bizzare is how I describe it. Why do the British call it a morgue and not a mortuary as they should with the wealth background they have, hurlingham club etc I love a spoof spy/agent with comedy, this just isn't it.

The ads in the Amazon stream gives a welcome relief.

Watching this after be flagged by a friend. Not sure why I am persevering with it. The plot is immature, the casting inappropriate and the acting appalling although the script doesn't help.

The various sub-plots are weak, stilted, drawn out and unnecessary.

It's like Dallas meets Dynasty meets Neighbours.

Just finished the final episode and honestly feel robbed of the hours I spent hoping it would improve. It didn't.

The acting was mostly poor-often wooden to the point that I couldn't stay invested in the story. The only standout was David Dencik as Jasper, who brought some much-needed energy and humor as an eccentric, anxious prisoner/IT guy.

The plot was both ridiculous and frequently boring. The number of gruesome deaths was excessive-so over the top it felt lurid rather than dramatic.

The Greek setting was beautiful, sure-but ultimately felt pointless. It added nothing to the story and came off as contrived and self-indulgent, like a scenic backdrop chosen more for the cast and crew than for the plot.

It's neither funny nor serious not cleverly scripted. Moreover characters are unlikeable.

One tries to categories it as a comedy but decimation of a whole town is far from funny. Only a psychopath would find amusing popping down if the residents one after each other.

The actor who plays the son of the protagonist is especially irritating. I am not familiar with him but I think he is known to be a comedian and acts around as if he is repeating one of his previous roles that is not connected with this series.

I gave three stars while it deserves one just because I watched three and half episodes before hating myself for the time I spent for it.
