Review of The Woods

The Woods (2020)
4/10
Absurd plot
12 July 2020
Some scenes scenes are stretched much too long, as if the filmmakers didn't have enough material to fill the required length of the episodes. And the music is for the most part absolutely awful. But neither of these things is really what lets this series down. The real problem is - as usual with Harlan Coben's efforts - the absurd plot. If you like your stories to have at least a modicum of plausibility, then find something else to watch. The actors are actually quite good in this, but don't expect believable characters because of that. They are just pawns here, made to behave absurdly and with no regard for common sense, totally subservient to the mechanic of the ridiculous story. The revelations, when they finally come, really are eye-wateringly ridiculous.
