Review of Believe

Believe (2014)
So annoying and unbelievable
10 April 2014
I know that these types of shows are about stretching the limits of your imagination but this show goes well above and beyond that. The main bad guy is confused - is he good, is he bad, is he just horribly written. I could wade through all the plot holes and 2 dimensional characters but I can't get through Bo. She is the most annoying protagonist. We are told time and time again how "amazing" she is, how "special" she is, how "sweet" she is. How everyone "loves" her and is "touched" by her. Actually all she is is annoying and spoiled, throwing tantrums and screaming all over the place to get her way. This gets in the way a lot of the time and ends up putting other people's lives in danger. She is supposed to be "gifted" beyond all measure - I was hoping for a more mature and nuanced performance but oh well, wishful thinking it is. I think as a character she would be more likable and "special" if she acted less like a spoiled brat.
