The Rig (2023– )
8/10
Top notch cast, the writing takes a while to catch up with them
9 January 2023
Binged it in a couple of days, but it took me awhile to warm up to it.

It was very strange to see first-rate British actors in a sci-fi movie, but in particular, one in which the dialogue was not especially well written - a good portion came off as amateurish, at the outset.

At first I was thinking it seems like a Indie style movie, in which one might see one b-line recognizable actor to lend credibility. Having said all that, things seemed to tidy up as the episodes went on and, seriously it really is a STELLAR cast!

There are some actors in this that I will watch them in anything they do: Iain Glen; Emily Hampshire; Mark Addy; Martin Compton. All of the cast here is wonderful, and the characters really grew on me.

I didn't really think I would like it at the outset, but I'm glad I stuck with it.

As of this writing, there's no word on a second season, but I would love to see these actors/characters again!
