The people who write shows these days seem like a pale shadow of past writers, they imitate but what little original they add is usually terrible and detract from the final product, the rest of the production is okey but obviously it cannot compensate for the bad writing.
One option is to just turn off the audio and I promise that whatever dialog you imagine the actors saying is way better than what their lines actually are.
The show is fine as background noise if you are doing something else as the stupidity will be less offensive that way and if you are distracted enough you might not even notice.

"Cassandra's Sight" plunges into the overexploited urban fantasy genre with a premise that teeters on the edge of intrigue and cliché. Cassandra Webb, a New York City paramedic, embodies the trope of an unwitting hero thrust into the supernatural. Her emerging clairvoyant abilities, rather than adding depth, serve as a convenient plot device that feels both forced and underdeveloped.
The film's attempt to weave together the personal journey of self-discovery with the high stakes of protecting three young women from a nebulous "deadly adversary" falls flat. The antagonist, lacking both motive and menace, fails to evoke the necessary tension, turning what could have been a gripping conflict into a lackluster chase.
Directorial decisions and screenplay choices prompt a recurring question: "What even is this?" The narrative, punctuated by predictable plot twists and expository dialogue, seems to underestimate its audience's intelligence. Furthermore, the film's reliance on visual effects over character development and coherent storytelling exacerbates its shortcomings.
The true mystery of "Cassandra's Sight" is not found within its supernatural elements but in its production. The industry's persistence in churning out formulaic narratives that have historically underperformed is baffling. One wonders how such projects continue to receive the green light, ignoring the clear signals from audiences seeking originality and substance.
In conclusion, "Cassandra's Sight" serves as a stark reminder of the creative bankruptcy plaguing certain sectors of the film industry. Its failure to engage or innovate begs the question: how can they keep doing this, knowing it always fails? The film, unfortunately, adds to the pile of missed opportunities where potential for innovation is sacrificed for the safety of the familiar, yet unsuccessful, formulas.

This series seems to suffer significantly in terms of writing, acting, and overall execution, with its only saving grace being its cinematography. The writing appears to be a major weakness, possibly due to poorly developed plots or dialogue that lacks depth and authenticity. Such shortcomings in the script can directly impact the quality of acting, as even skilled actors struggle to deliver performances that resonate with the audience when the material is subpar. The acting itself being described as "terrible" suggests a lack of convincing portrayals, possibly stemming from inadequate character development or direction.
