Calls

A compelling and tense series of tales with just the right balances of individuality, story arc and reference backs.

I found it visually compelling, with the use of graphics adding a narrative that I find difficult to describe, yet completely wrapped up in.

Part of the effect of the visuals is to hold you to the screen. This is the closest I've been to combining a book, a radio play and a piece of tv. Bravo!

So bad I'm seriously considering cancelling my Apple subscriptions.

Apple has obviously decided that it needs content, apparently any content will do, and I'm not sure I wanted to hand over my hard earned cash for such an attitude.

Hang on, we don't need to employ actors and we can sell it as innovative? Well to be fair worked on me.........

However you quickly realize that it's not just actors they don't need, they don't need to create a complete story, no character arc, no explanation for the random nonsense they throw our way, they can literally make anything up, not even attempting to satisfy the viewer.

The Sorpranos ended many years ago and this "make up your own ending" is getting seriously old, but coupled with never ending random events that the writers conjured up in 15 mins whilst drunk in a bar, just leaves you with a feeling that your time was robbed, that precious commodity stolen and all in the name of Apple making a quick, cheap and easy buck at our expense.

The horror is that someone out there thought this 'show' was a good idea. Seriously, anyone reviewing this garbage with anything greater than 1star should seek professional help.

Really enjoyed this - kind of a twilight zone version of listening to people calling 911? It's short, you'll finish in one evening, and I don't think it will stay with me to forever, but it was very engaging in the moment and I kept clicking next.

One person said in their review oh, they decided they didn't need actors.....who do they think performed the calls? I have to imagine the ease of making this show during a pandemic helped a bit, though obviously the French version predated our current situation.

Why did I take so long to be released? Would have been an incredible escape from Covid lockdown. So innovative and dead-stop in your tracks mesmerizing! I have laughed, cried, and everything in between! Impossible not to binge...
