Something Undone

This dropped on itvX -- a free streaming service in the UK -- yesterday (14 Dec 2023) -- and I binged it. It was highlighted in the TV listings magazine I read so I was hopeful it would be at least half decent. Unfortunately, it's worth just about what I paid to see it. There's so much filler and so little thriller that I recommend you give it a miss.

The real problem here is the weak screenplay (and the weak underlying story). But also, more competent actors in the two lead roles could perhaps have brought more of a sense of realism to things. I couldn't buy Michael Musi as the supposed stellar podcaster, nor Madison Walsh as this supposed groundbreaking Foley artist (her "outstanding" sound effects for the podcast were supposed to be its USP).

Farid (played by Michael Musi) is supposed to be in some serious degree of peril, and yet he ambles around as if he's conducting his interviews in a pretty benign environment. And the whole Jo (played by Madison Walsh) "subplot" as she clears her dead mother's house is so confusing that I really struggled to know what was supposed to be actually happening and what she was imagining.

Such a mess. Please give it a miss.

Watched the series over 2 days and really enjoyed the plot development, emotional twists and acting.

It kept me watching because it is clever and unpredictable. The two lead actors have written and produced it, therefore invested in it. It is not too scary just surprising in parts. Hope there is another series but it is complete as it is.

The locations add to a feeling of being trapped and remote. The series is not dumbed down as some TV is but left me thinking about it afterwards, especially the ending. I really recommend that you see it for yourself if you like something intelligent and unpredictable.

And that is the ending, what the hell happend

Neither you like this serie or not I think we all can agree about the start was very good, I was nailed the 4 first episodes, spooky, clever, mystic and just well done, but just when it felt like this serie could be the best ever, something turns and then it went down faster than a submarine with a screen door

No , it just made a meteorite fall and crashed real hard , the story could have been so good but they just wanted this stupid drama so much it destroyed the whole serie, annoying characters and a bad director helped alot also

Its not a good serie, but sure , its ok to watch a rainy sunday, but not a friday evning with popcorn in your lap.

I really enjoyed this series. I watched it all in two days, it was hard to stop. I heard a CBC interview where one of the creators was talking about the creation of the show and the interesting way it all came together. Huge fans of Mary Walsh and Shawn Majumder from This Hour Has 22 Minutes and it was so cool seeing them play serious, dark roles. The whole show was very well done, but quite scary at times. I resumed watching during the day because I was a little spooked. That being said, I hate scary things and tend to stay away. I've been recommending to show to all my friends. A quick, interesting watch.

Loved every moment of this show! Makes me proud to be Canadian. Finally some quality Canadian content that makes you think. I was on the edge of my seat for most of the season. The sound design is incredible and I really enjoyed the score throughout. I highly recommend enjoying the show with headphones. The cbc gem app is a little annoying to navigate but there are some great shows on the platform and it's free which feels rare these days. Was so great seeing Billy Campbell- huge fan of his work on Cardinal. The cinematography was beautiful!! Looking forward to seeing more from these creators.
