Suspicion

The show was good. If it wasn't for the unsatisfying ending I'd probably rate it 8/10. Good storyline, interesting characters, good dialogue, good pace and good acting. Unfortunately it all crumbled at the end with an unsatisfying ending that leaves too many unanswered questions and loose ends. I don't know if the writers didn't have an ending in mind or they were too busy worrying about making a twist (that wasn't surprising at all btw) but they failed in tying it all up to create a cohesive story. It didn't make much sense at the end and I didn't appreciate that on top of that they were trying to send some sort of a moral lesson (which again didn't make sense). Don't get me wrong, it's not the worst ending I've ever seen but I really feel that with a different ending this show could have been so much better because it really had such great potential. 6/10.

Its a hard to follow story. Are the cops the good guys? Are the suspects prepertrators or victums? Can they solve the kidnapping who knows? I watched it until the end despite the illogical twists and turns.

The quality cast to build tension and character from the scant script, at times chewing the scenery because there was such little meat in the plot. An elevator pitch probably sounded good - a commentary on truth in modern media through climate change and PR spin with a kidnapping twist. Execution of the idea was clumsy and, at times, nonsensical. Side quests took up screen time but went nowhere meaningful. The final episode of this mediocre show could have almost saved it with a shocking twist or revelation, but alas, we saw it coming. Rushed and poorly concluded plot points leave the viewer dissatisfied (eg how did X know Y? Does X ever go back home?). Ultimately the show suffers poor pacing throughout the season, frontloaded with filler and overwrought tension over minor matters then tied up in a hamfisted bow of unresolved threads.

And not for nothing - Uma Thurman has beautiful, natural hair. Either she has a terrible wig in this show or they need to blacklist the hairstylist for doing her so dirty. There's looking like a frumpy character on purpose, then there's having hair so bad it's distracting. This is the second.

Now if you enjoy slow shows with some action then this was ok. But by the end your wondering why what happened even happened. Also why the people did what they did in the first place. Because although everything was explained at the end you will didn't get why or for what was the whole reasoning behind it. The great reveal was a great let down. One of those "Why did I just watch all of these for this!?" kind of moments. The actors were just ok, I only liked Aadesh and will be looking for more shows with him in them. The whole story and set up just felt so fake. I could not enjoy getting lost in the series because it felt to illogical and forced! I have seen many series that are far more interesting and better at telling a story than this one. For me it is a hard pass but I did enjoy episode 4 out of them all of the episodes.

Okay, sounds interesting. It could work. Ah yes, tension is built up quite well. The characters are quite ok, let's see where the journey goes.

And then comes the last episode.

Holy father! What an unbelievable nonsense! I won't spoil this junk, but this much is revealed: this is no story twist, no big surprise, but an embarrassing soap opera beyond compare.

How can you ruin an arc of suspense like that?

Horrible. Simply awful.
