Lady Voyeur

No pun intended of course. The international title being quite ... well sassy I suppose. The show itself being steamy to a point (with some nudity), but also full of cliches too. There's so much backstabbing and so many twists your head will surely not sit right after watching this (and no I did not call you Shirley).

That all being said, I've seen better but also worse thrillers. Don't expect this to be too titilating I suppose or too clever for that matter. Actually after episode 1 you can almost skip to the last episode - because you get a recap of almost everything important anyway - with an explanation ... if that helps ... still you have to dig the premise and all that ... otherwise you will be bored I assume.

So let's separate the soft porn from the mystery story. First yes there is much sex in this series that Netflix keeps pushing the envelope with and many customers have been complaining. It's what made me switch from US dramas to Korean dramas since they can express sex scenes or love stories so much more romantically. I got this for a suggestion since it was foreign i presume. Here the FL watches her neighbor out her window, (who is a prostitute or high class call girl) having sex and also hacks into her security system to save all the videos. The FL meets the clients coincidently in the building snd ends up with the clients as well. Then there are sex parties reminiscent of 50 Shades of Grey.

As far as the mystery goes I found it confusing to keep track of all the different characters - this person is related to that person and that person is related to this person. Too much to sort out as there are time jumps forward and backward frequently. The only thing that saved this is that the last episode divulged everything and explained it in detail. But should you have to explain it?

The series has one of the most unlikely scripts in recent times. They wanted to navigate all the so-called modern narratives of relationships, mainly sexual ones. The locations are few and poor. The actors, almost all of them have a poor. Acting. The comings and goings in time are now a cliché and, in this case, they confuse the story a little. The plot fails to create an atmosphere of tension, primarily due to the temporal spoilers, also due to the actors' unconvincing performance, which in my opinion were poorly directed. Not even the sex scenes manage to create an erotic atmosphere. In short, a tremendous catastrophe.

Lazy writing. The series follows a "50 Shades of Grey" kind of formula where the plot and characters are poorly developed and are there just to unsuccessfully connect a bunch of mediocre erotic clips while some random music plays in the background, completely leaving aside the thriller proposal.

Even if you forget about it and just try to give a chance to the erotical foccus of the series, Lady Voyeur also fails in delivering a good experience: the bad acting, misplaced catchphrases and the constantly attempts to create a sexual tension between the characters (almost every scene, even in the most akward situations) results in secondhand embarrassment only.

I stuck it out till ep 5 because it has a good story line and it did grab me for a while, but I dont think I could sit through the next 5 episodes because of the sex scenes and the plot getting thicker and thicker and dragging on. Who has that much sex in their life? Who has that much drama in their lives? No one. The men and women are like Ken and Barby and the sexy computer hacker just touches a key and everything is magically opened to her. There is no such thing as security in voyuerland. This is a soap opera like 'Days of our lives'. If you like soapies, watch it. If not, then avoid it like the plague.
