Watching the new Deadloch ep while I eat breakfast, and I have to say this ep is definitely slower than the rest. It's definitely a dotting the I's and crossing the T's episode in preparation for the final few eps. Sadly this ep is also poking holes in my outlandish theory as to who the killer is.
Final note, Kate Box is fkn killing it as the lead, while Madeliene Sami seriously wobbles on the line between funny and ok this is old now, Kate Box is absolutely solid from start to end. Would enjoy seeing some awards thrown at her when the time comes.
lead actor is fantastic, even when kinda buttoned down the whole time. watching her cut a bit loose doing an impression of the partner was fun. overall as with most aus products i'm proud and impressed but also like 'this could have been world class with another few rounds of quality control'
I love the show but agree, I few more rounds of quality control and it could have truly stuck the landing.
Yeah the Eddie character is a bit cringe, hard to say whether that's due to the script, or whether it's bad over-acting by Madeline. I think we're 3 or 4 episodes in so we'll probably stick with it.
I think maybe it's a mixture. This may just be me but when you throw Dulcie, Abbey, Sven, and Eddie into a scene together you start to wonder why the writers decided to bring in a foil for Dulcie at all when Abbey and Sven are doing a much better job of it and in much more audience appealing way.
I was excited for it, but had gotten around to looking at reviews today and I think I'll wait for the season to complete and watch in one go.
I can't stand that show. The unrealistic incompetence is too cringe for me.
