Limetown

This show is a must watch. It's hilarious to me that it has such poor reviews! Almost like a conspiracy to stop viewers from finding out the truth! Alright I went too far with that one... literally every episode has me gripped. Jessica Biel is on amazing form with a super interesting back story. The supporting cast and production of this show is just amazing as well! Do your self a favour and watch an episode. If you don't like it KUWTK is probably more your jam.

But it should have before releasing.

My wife made it thru 4 episodes and called it quits. I made the 8 that are out (until tomorrow) but I'm not sure why.

Premise sounded a lot better than execution.

I have listened to the podcast and this show could have done better. Jessica Biel is not portraying the character accurately and is more interrogating people rather than interviewing them as journalists do. Lia was a professional in the podcast and not a cold, insecure, emotional mess that Biel is portraying. Honestly not a fan of the casting choice for her to play Lia. This was just a promotion for the terrible book that was more of a prequel about her character than the history of Limetown.

Ignore the negative reviews. See it for yourself and then judge. Its lot better than majority of recent shows which have been complete disappointment. The opening scene alone sent chills through my spine. I am definitely looking forward to more episodes. Limetown is very un settling and disturbing show with great atmosphere. Definitely targeted towards the older audience who want a little more substance and mystery in their TV shows. Watch it!!

I wanted to like this show. I was very intrigued by the Roanoke-esque premise. But it just doesn't work. Jessica Biel's protagonist Lia is not relatable and if we are being honest she isn't likable either. The fellow journalist she is saddled with, Mark, comes across as utterly bland, forgettable, and fussy. The story has the ability to kick into gear and be interesting with flashbacks and side characters but it never lasts and then you are jolted back to the grim present. I will keep watching to see how things pan out but it is out of stoic resolve not excitement over the plot or interest in the characters.
