Something Undone

There's some very negative reviews around but I don't get it. I thought this well well-paced, well-acted, holding its atmosphere throughout segueing between is it horror, is it creepy serial killer or possible mental illness? Podcast culture was the pitch and style. I do think the idea that the Foley artist was the podcast star was a bit daft although personally I do always keep a fresh stick of celery to hand just is case I need a quick sound effect. I thought the story line bringing in a skewed new age wellness community boss was a wrong turn but I thought it was otherwise excellent. Gets 8/10 on my creepy killer / horror / mental health / atmospheric Canadian wilds rating scale.

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.

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.

Really enjoyed this series. I came across this title on cbc gem and was delighted to see many recognizable Canadian talent throughout the season. The visuals are beautiful. I was so delighted to see that part of the story took place in Newfoundland. Cbc Gem has many interesting films and series available for free but with many ads throughout. I really enjoyed Something Undone and am very pleased to have come across it. I recommended it to my daughter and she is loving it as well. For any Tom Power fans out there, you will be pleasantly surprised to see him playing himself in one of the episodes. I recommend giving this a watch you will not be disappointed.

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.
