Michael Sheen and Tom Payne in Prodigal Son (2019)

Review by lindashadowland

Prodigal Son

10/10

GOBSMACKED

I am really shocked by so many bad reviews. It almost seems everyone either love's it or hate's it. I am firmly in the former camp. Tom Payne and Martin Sheen are brilliant actors. The woman who plays the Mother is very adequate. The daughter, a white bread spoiled brat from the word go has even shown some decent acting chops. And Lou Diamond Phillips? Please. But without great writers, directors and editors these actors would be wasting their time and they certainly are not. This show is delightfully wicked, full of dry humor, sometimes campy, quirky characters, great plots and truly gruesome moments at times. I urge you to ignore the haters, and if you haven't watched it, you should watch from the first season (this is the second) On Demand if possible. It is definitely in my top five shows to never miss.
