Review of Kindred

Kindred (2022)
7/10
It's like the writers didn't even try.

Warning: Spoilers
So Dana and Kevin are trapped in this horrible situation and they act like they're in some kinda murder mystery weekend getaway! And on top of that, they think they're gonna make the lives of the slaves all better by acting indignant around all the racist white people. It's like Dana and Kevin have never seen a movie about slavery or read a book about that time period! It was so frustrating. If the writing and direction had been better, this could have been an amazing series. I actually liked the way it started, for the most part. It had potential but there was a total lack of understanding of what was actually happening around them. Being clueless for a day or two is understandable but it's like they were stuck on stupid. This show could have been interesting even if Dana and Kevin had adopted some type of strategy to survive.

And Kevin acting like a penniless beggar. Get a freaking job to make some money and be independent. But their grand plan was to hang around the plantation looking stupid.

I really like the actress who plays Dana, but I guess there's only so much she can do with the crappy dialogue and directing.
