Nurse Redd: I get chills down my spine just thinking about it
Tale
A detective and a nun investigate a series of heinous crimes that seem personal, while grappling with personal issues and uncovering a sinister web that raises more questions than answers. Ed Lachlan’s Mustang is the same color and registration number as the car in The Italian Job 2WQI332. I’m almost done with the fourth episode and I feel like I’m watching a midlife crisis from someone who is aware of their neurodivergent storytelling (but doesn’t care what we think about this ADHD method) and then adds a borderline schizophrenia fetish and then lost in telling the original story. And yes, I am aware of the terrible structure of this sentence.
I’m not even a fan
I mimic the rhythm and tone, plus a general confusion about what I’m looking at in the world. who is it about Who do I care? And please tell me why (for the love of storytelling, just tell me why I’m watching this, please). It’s so all over the place that I welcomed Taylor’s boyfriend into the chaotic mix of casting calls.
It has a solid vibe – I can see the appeal
Which means no fans – just me happy to have something I can relate to or even remotely care about. But let’s talk about Niecy Nash – I want to have a word with her agent because she’s underrated and underutilized. Stop putting her in those ridiculous detective roles that she doesn’t even seem to be interested in. She’s better than those roles and it doesn’t help that she’s trying.
She is wise, beautiful and talented
Find her roles that have scope and she shines. (Sorry, but these roles give us time to reflect on his wasted talent). All the actors are pretty good too – but there’s a very unnatural chaotic point of view that hurts to try to follow. I mean random songs and bonfires and sermons about life and seeing weird metaphorical depictions of some outdated religious stuff – but I guess that’s okay because you add rows of online activity and suddenly it’s not the same as what we’ve seen over and over again?
Is there a plot?
ugh I gave it a six because the actors showed up and still stayed in the scenes. Maybe they were as confused as I was because I cared more about that than the plot.
