Review of Manhattan

Manhattan (2014–2015)
6/10
Too many subplots
14 October 2014
Warning: Spoilers
This series started off well; it was authentic looking, had good character development, and it was suspenseful. There was some great interpersonal drama between the characters. It had everything it needed to grab the viewer and hold their attention, to make for a very entertaining show.

However, then they kept developing more characters, and they kept creating more drama between all these characters through more and more subplots.

There are now so many characters in play, with so many subplots, that I have lost all interest in what were once the major players and story lines.

It's like there's a big house party that starts off with a few people chatting and drinking. Then more and more people show-up, and the talking gets louder and louder. Finally, there are so many people, talking so loud, that there's no more room to even breathe.

To top it all off, I understand that they're not going to set the bomb off now because there will be a second season.

Nope. There will be no second season for me. At this point I wish they'd just nuke that secret little town in the middle of the desert, and put the writers to work on a better show.
