A Lukewarm Version of A Good Story
3 August 2021
I have watched all of the Belgian series (3 seasons) and one episode of the French(?) version. I watched the first episode as I was curious as to how the British version would work the zany and comedic scenes. I was not greatly impressed with the characters, who are subdued. Also, the great genius of this work is, of course, describing the process of recovery from trauma (what, is that possible!?) that was so well depicted in the Belgian series. My hope is that the British series allows the characters to enter into the crazy, painful, and vibrant process of recovery from trauma. In short, the topic is very intense and does not call for the reserved and subdued acting and direction that the first episode revealed. All of that aside, I think the production values are good, the actors are very good, the music is okay, and the direction needs energy.
