Somewhere Between

I am glad i did not read the negative reviews before watching this show as i might not have watched it. I enjoyed every minute and was hanging waiting for the next weeks episode, It had its twists and turns that kept you interested week to week i have never reviewed a show before but felt that this show did not deserve all the negatives it is receiving if you like crime/thriller shows you should enjoy it

This is a strange little tale. It starts off badly, very badly. Hyper annoying children combined with some poor acting and a weak script almost had me close to turning off. Fortunately Episode 1 is no more than a premise set up and things improve significantly as the series progresses. An unbelievably drab looking Patton (still gorgeous) and Sawa as a burn out ex-cop do a decent job holding this together. It's not rocket science, but worthwhile for passing some cold winter nights in front of the TV.

Goodness what a bad actress! Every move she makes is way over the top! The story is good but she is so over the top. Acting is about giving a subtle option to a situation. She is all over the place I think she needs acting lessons She needs to review her acting presentation She sighs all the time, her every facial expression is over the top which makes the viewer conscious of the fact that she is over acting. the other actors are OK which brings her exaggerated performance even more into discussion. enough!

This is not the most intense, most interesting TV show there is.. but it is not that bad as some reviews claimed.

The story is quite predictable as I get to episode four, I can already guess who is the bad guys here. The show has somewhat fast pace which is good, not much twist and turn but with some actions. This is a killing time kind of show. I can tell you there are way lots of garbage show in Netflix than this one.

The only thing that will hinder you from continue to kill time with this show is the lead actress - Paula Patton, i do not know how she became an actress, maybe the trend now is actresses cant act, singers cant sing..

She consistently has that "trying-so-hard, over-the-top" look on her face for the whole 10 episodes, her hairdo doesnt help either, she looks kind of old and haggard to be the wife of that DA guy. Even the child actresses (Serena & Ruby) acts better than her. And that Serena character is a spoil brat who is a constant pain to watch too. Seriously, Should have fired the casting director and probably the director for accepting such sub-par acting.

The story is an interesting idea and I agree with both negative and positive reviews. The acting is bad, particularly Paula Patton. Her facial expressions are very forced and over the top. Her eyebrows say stressed, her eyes say kiss me but her mouth is open 99% of the time. The daughter might as well reas her lines off of an A4 sheet in front of us. I'm not a fan of bratty children who are 8 going on 28. The Nico character delivers some pretty ridiculous lines I'll be honest. Dad did a good job but still not Oscar worthy. The only character I found interesting was Kyle (ghost) but even so we only know the character briefly. But negativity aside, I watched it and enjoyed the story. Watch it for yourself and see what you think.
