I squeaked through Ep 1 hoping it would improve because the cast is so good. I was hitting that 10 second FF a lot as the music swelled on the image of him opening the box to reveal the GUN!...dun dun dun! Etc. Yawn.
But episode 2 I didn't make it through. That same problem in the first episode - of being desperate to manufacture drama, with editing and sound track instead of story - got worse but they added in obvious and also Extremely unlikely plot events. (Eye roll)
The gangstah finds the girl. She smartly leaves her house boat! She goes in the water and hides Under the walkway. And just When I was thinking how refreshing to see a clever gal onTV!!! The writers had her swim down to the bottom of the river. Why we have no idea. He walked over her multiple times and never even looked down. She already got away with it. Then inexplicably the Gangsta stands on the outside walkway above her FOR EVER!!!! Why we have no idea. He just stands there doing nothing, FOR EVER. So then I start thinking...oh no, so what is the writer going to do now?!
Sure enough they decided to create drama the cheap way. So no reason for him to stand there sight seeing on the river for ever just staring out - HE DIDNT EVEN LOOK DOWN! She's free diving bizarrely and then, wait for it, her foot gets caught in the rope.
Dear god. Really???
Really???
And she Drowns. Bu dum bum.
Yup.
So they're going to hang an entire season on this preposterous scenario??? God for bid they write a show with a gal being all the way clever. Lame.
Her foot got caught in the rope?!?!?!
Eeeee gads.
Well I won't waste my time watching cheap writing.
What a shame.
