I'm generally a forgiving moviegoer/TV-watcher, but this miniseries was awful. And It hurts to write that, because I WANTED it to be good. But it was a massive letdown. They keep you guessing right to end, but then never deliver, never pay off, never answer. If they were aiming to make a series then I understand not tying everything up in nice little bow, but SOME things have to be resolved in a satisfying way. (Not that it will ever become a series anyway.) Instead it just kind of ... ended. Like the writers got tired and said "ok let's end it here."
I thought the acting was fine and did not get in the way of the story - or would not have, had there BEEN a story. Mostly it was a series of unconnected events and people stabbing each other in the back. My two biggest criticisms were (1) lack of plot/dramatic development, and (2) a complete lack of likable characters. Even the "good" guys were sleazebuckets. Who was I supposed to root for? Why exactly should I care what happens to ANY of these folks? The one character I found myself somewhat liking got unceremoniously offed at the end.
Not sure what to write now. Just disappointed.
