Bellevue (2017)
8/10
Feels a lot like twin peaks!
21 February 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Searched through the TV listings to find this pilot episode, of what appears to be an interesting watch. Bellevue is a town that is in trouble. With the mine closed, an influx of drug use and abuse never mind the shroud of a horrific unsolved child murder in its past, the locals are left searching for help and answers wherever they can. 3 main female characters have come to the fore in this pilot episode Annie... the cop. Maggie... Jessie's mother. Mayor 'mother' Mansfield. I've no idea why but to me these three seem really important to this growing drama. With the shows religious overtones and the weird circumstances behind the well loved star hockey player Jessie's disappearance, I can't help but be drawn back to "Twin Peaks" and the beloved and beautiful victim Laura Palmer. Let's give this show a chance to fill its boots before dismissing it after such an engrossing first episode. After all TV company's are all about the viewers, and a pilot has to grab your attention, set the scene and familiarise the viewer with the characters. Looking forward to episode two.
