Review of Deadloch

Deadloch (2023– )
7/10
Watchworthy, and may get better along the way

I found the first three episodes amusing enough to want to continue.

I liked the "north european vibes" I found in the characters, especially in the protagonist, Dulcie, which I found to be pretty good.

I was initially worried about the LGBT narrative (which is often abused by writers in order to give some sould to the final product) but I found it to be pretty well integrated and not forced.

The only character I found a bit difficoult to believe in was Eddie, whom is a bit to exaggerated imo. She seems to incarnate a clown-ish archetype, overacted and with a dramatic trigger in her past, but to work on the long run needs a good evolution path (which seems to start in the third episode, so fingers crossed).

Writing isn't top-of-the-shelf, has its peeks and valleys, but manages to get you through te plot in a good way in some of principal turning points, slightly worse in the subplots.

Overall, it's intriguing, funny, and may evolve in a good way in the next episodes.
