Review of Better

Better (2023)
6/10
craps out at the end
19 February 2023
Noteworthy for performance of Leila Farzad, not much else. Twist on cop vs criminal. Bad ending. 6.3, if you like the Brit born Iranian actress. 5.6 if you dont. Or pass. Complete washout halfway through last episode. But up until then, it's a solid 6.9. If you like, Leila Farzad.

"Just like every cop's a criminal, and all the sinners saints. My friends just call me..." And I was so hopeful. May I suggest an obscure crime drama, on Amazon books, "North of Likely" which delivers a solid ending to the cop trying to fight his way back to the right side theme.

But, as BBC goes, this experiment may have been bogged down in its own need to appease the diversity parade and be PC enough for the social censors. Or, the writers can't write an ending.

Feels like it could go longer. But the lukewarm response, I imagine, based upon the aforementioned, may preclude that.
