Something Undone

This really could have been much better if the main male character wasn't such an idiot. For someone to believably have had a successful podcast series, he is incredibly inept at talking to people, easily manipulated and self-involved. He has no foresight and doesn't even bother to keep things to self-insure himself to counter blackmail. His character just isn't believable. It's more like an 18 year old set out to do a podcast and through a series of impulsive decisions pissed off the mafia or something. I really liked the first few episodes, once they go to the Island it goes downhill. It's a pity as the acting is good, just the plot is ridiculous.

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.

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.

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.

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.
