Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So immensely off-the-mark in just about every respect that it is...stunning. Woman is rescued after SIX years of being held captive by a serial killer in a mask, who beat and barely fed her and repeatedly drowned in a locked tank of water with hallucinogens added to it. But after a few days in hospital she starts to look kind of pretty again and goes home. Of course, she has to go home to her brother's place, since while she was missing she was declared dead by the courts in absentia; her husband has remarried; and her kid, who was just a toddler when she was taken, is now a preteen who considers the new wife his mom. (Ok, sure.) Yet...nobody talks about any of this. When they do talk, it is in ways that are astonishingly inept--not true-to-life inept, mind you, but the sort of inept that can only be written by people who have lead emotionally stunted lives (and yet feel too full of their own clueless selves to be bothered to research what a case of extreme trauma might actually look like). Writers, actors, and designers alike conspire to ensure the mood is one of unceasing, unqualified sulkiness. I think they think this is the key to approximating a really good Scandinavian cop show/thriller? Which means that every excellent nuance of the Scandinavian cop show/thrillers they've watched has gone entirely over their heads. Which makes me kind of sad...because how do people like this even get to make a series in the first place? Please oh please just skip this one. Unless you want to watch it stoned with friends and laugh? But no, even that would be too painful. Just go watch Bosch again instead, if you're jonesing for your cop show fix.
